Removing excess brake fluid from Reservoir!

Hey folks,
I noticed today that my brake fluid level is quite a bit over the max line. The fluid is new since I changed it last year when I got my brakes done.

What's the best way to remove the excess brake fluid from the reservoir?
I have been told use turkey blaster, dip paper napkin, small pump etc etc.

Also, is it really that simple as opening the reservoir, removing excess and closing it? No air would enter the system like this?
Thanks

 

Use a clean turkey batter…

Or bleed the lines

 

I have a few brand new ones lying around.

 

Yep it’s as simple as you think.

Turkey baster, syringe, or by the spoonful if you so wanted.

Open reservoir, remove, then close. Just don’t keep it open longer than you have to.

Or bleeding works too.

 

A turkey baster will work fine, no risk whatsoever of getting air into the system....unless you remove too much and leave the reservoir empty.

There is one caution however, avoid getting any brake fluid on the paint, it can damage paint, if you do by chance get some on the paint clean it immediately with soapy water.

 

Got it!
I am going to cover the area with rags and have soapy water on hand.
With my dexterity, I know I would be spilling that thing all over my bay and fender.

 

A straw works well too.

 

Big syringe with rubber tube works good plus you don’t have to worry about spilling as much unless of course you hit the plunger.
