Get a pump syphon and syphon out the reservoir. Then pour the new fluid in. Drain again if you want and put new fluid in.

Get some hose, pull the return line and run it to a bucket. Fill up the reservoir, turn on the engine, and then turn it off. Fill, turn on, and turn off. Repeat until the fluid runs clear, then top off, bleed, and top off again.
