how do I drain my brake fluid w/o a bleeder tool?
So I'm about to replace all rotors and pads as well as flush out the fluid. I'm not entirely sure if this could be done without the bleeding tool?? Also, is there a particular order I should be flushing/bleeding?
If I intend on flushing the system out completely, can I just keep pumping the brake with the reservior uncapped until everything is drained then just pour in the fresh fluid and bleed??

If you're just draining the system you can simply gravity bleed.
Just open one valve and let it drip out.
I don't suggest this as a way of properly bleeding the brakes however.
Pumping the brakes is a two-person method and should be done with caution. This method has been known to wear out the MC with some people.
I'd recommend either using the Motive pressure bleeder, or find someone who's experienced and can help you with the two-person method.
