Default brake fluid change

hello,
can somebody post the instructions/pointers for changing the brake fluid on a 2003 pilot? is it as simple as loosening the bleeders and then re-filling it up thru the break fluid container under the hood? how do you make sure there are no air pockets? thanks for any replies.

I would have someone who has done this before help you IN PERSON, or at least pick up a book on auto maintenance.

The brakes are very easy to work on, but even easier to do wrong.

And the most important function of any vehicle is the ability to STOP.
