anyone got any tips for removing brake fluid without replacing it with fresh fluid and not getting it everywhere!

Hi

If you mean to get it out of the system so that you can work on it, try a syringe or a turkey baister.

All the best

need it out as going to replace the lines while i get the caliper sorted out
well me and davo had an interesting approach to it by feeding the front resivour and lever down the forks and front wheel then releasing the banjo bolts clear of paint, was a backward way to do it but seemed to work ok

Just unbolt the banjo bolts at the caliper, stick the pipes into a jam jar and then pump the fluid out via the lever. That'll shift the bulk of it, still be careful of spill when you undo the rest though.

Get yourself a Mityvac. Not cheap, but saves so much hassle for these kind of jobs. You can use it like a syringe to drain your reservoir aswell as pull fluid through the system quickly.
