    Remove brake fluid until reservoir is half full. How?

    I want to inspect the caliper and piston of the front brakes.
    The instructions start with:
    "Remove brake fluid until reservoir is half full. "

    How do I do that?

    Thanks,

    Greetings,

    Arie

          You could also bleed the brakes until the level goes down.

                you can use a clean lint free rag, like you would a paper towel.
