Did mine a few weeks ago, the rear worked exactly as @mosjenks stated. I bought a vacuum tank from Motive and that made the front easy for me and my son. He did not have to do the brake pump. Then I used the tank on our old school Astro Van.

Before pushing the old brake fluid through the lines to the wheels, I used the vacuum pump tank to remove most from the master cylinder, then filled with new.

I used DOT 4 synthetic fluid and did a good flush (ran a lot of fluid through). Probably my imagination but the brake pedal felt a bit more firm on both vehicles after that. Maybe I'm just trying to justify the cost for the extra fluid and tank.
