Silly question, you just unscrew all 4 bleed adapters and pump the brakes until it's all out. Refill and pump brakes until pressure builds back up again. Works great until the next stop...

so im just curious just how someone did it.

I used a Motive Power Bleeder, simple, pump it up and go to each bleeder until it comes out clean. I use it on our Vette too.

The H3 transfer case is a fill to overflow setup. As an 06 H3, the transfer case fill plug is in the wrong location, it is too low for its installed orientation. After filling it to the overflow point through the fill port, put the plug back in and add 250 ml more through the speed sensor port. Alternately, you can raise the front end about 25 cm to get those last 250 ml into the case through the fill port.
