Best to bleed regardless to get the old fluid out of the lines and calipers.

Just suck all the fluid out of the reservouir and fill with new stuff. Bleed a corner, top it up, bleed a corner, top it up and so on.

When pumping the pedal the nipple needs to be open, when the pedal is coming back up it needs to be closed or it may draw air back on. (Hence being a two man job). ie open nipple push pedal to floor close allow pedal back up.

Also start from left rear then right rear then left front then right front.

Thats for the bleeding? it is safe to syringe the fluid out yes?

If you mean from the reservouir then yeah suck out as much as you can just dont let anyone touch the brake pedal when its empty.
