MityVac makes it really easy. I would offer a couple of tips. First, It will really help the first time to have someone help you until you are comfortable with the procedure.

Second, when you put the fitting on the bleeder nipple, make sure it is connected tightly or it could "pop" off while in use.

I always have suction created on the system before I open the bleeder and I close the bleeder while still under pressure.

On the front brakes. I always drain/bleed the side farthest away from the master cylinder first.

It will take a few moments to get the suction, open, suction, close, pour, suction, open...etc down, but once you get comfortable with your mityvac, you will be able to replace your brake fluid, front and rear in less than 30 minutes, including the prep work
