Brake fluid question

Guys,

Does the brake fuild circulate through the (brake) system like the power steering fluid does? I changed the PS fluid by using the turkey-burster way and wondering if I can do the same for the brake fluid.

Thanks!

You can replace just some of the brake fluid that way. But it should be flushed out. Taking the fluid out of the MS, just reduces the amount you have to flush.

Brake fluid does not circulate through the system as does power steering fluid...As jeff recommends, do the turkey baster trick in the master cylinder before bleeding to speed the process.
