it can be done by one person using a pressure bleeder or just simple gravity. but it is a lot easier with two people.
just curious, why do you want to change your brake fluid?? good luck------------------

When you start, start at the furthest point away from the master cylinder Ie: the pass rear then the driver rear then pass front then driver front. And check your fluid often as you dont want to empty the master cylinder..beside inducing air into the system you will ruin your mc .. BruceP.S. I hope this helps

i need to replace my brake fluid because i accidently(and yes, really, accidentaly) mixed the fluids    .... i thought i remembered what kind i put in there when i put disks up front.. but i was wrong.... scary ride.. any ways, to do a flush, do i just open the bleeder valve, put a tube on it, and just drain it into a bucket? thanks again.Jace

Jace, I never officially flushed my system, just pumped alot out. I'd never seen filthy brake fluid before my last brake job on my Oldsmobile. I changed the front brackes and when I bled the rears found more floating gunk in the fluid.
