Default First time changing brake fluid..nervous & requesting help.

I was always taught that anyone can make a vehicle "go", the real trick is to make sure it "stops"........therefore...

.......I've never messed with brakes, they just make me nervous.

After a lot of reading, I bought this brake bleeder kit. (See pic)

Problem is, even after doing a bunch of reading I still don't understand the EXACT procedure to change out the brake fluid.

I'm not even sure how to set up or use the kit I bought.

I know this is going to be a no brainer once I am educated, I need to learn this.

'06 Ultra, DOT 4.....Two front master cylinders and one rear.

I would so much appreciate step by step instructions if someone would be so kind?

It's OK to talk to me like I'm 5 years old.......because I can't afford to screw this up.

Sorry for being so needy & Thanks a bunch.

BTW, yes I read my service manual, but it seems they assume you've done this before, pretty vague.

If you want to maintain your brakes and keep fresh fluid in the system buy Speed Bleeders for each caliper. best money you will spend.
