Place vehicle on stands, remove all 4 wheels.
Remove fluid from reservoir.
Force all four calipers in to back flush fluid to reservoir and remove, watch levels to avoid overflow.
Get a 2 ounce syringe from farm supply, put 1/8" ID tubing on syringe, find 1/8" aluminum tube to insert into tubing and shape to get into reserve reservoir. You might need to drill into it to get effective use or open with a hot nail that will not produce debris. I used to remove the reservoir on vehicles in the past, but the fit seems very tight on the 9-5 and I have not done this. You may be able to get a needle into the MC and extract fluid down to that level.
Add fluid and do not pump the brakes, let that sit for a while, then remove.
Fill and let sit to fill any voids lower down, then pump the fluid into the system.
NEVER press the brake petal to the floor, place a piece of 2x4 behind the petal to limit travel. If you do not do this, the MC cup seals may be damages on corrosion deposits where the seals do not travel.
Then you can do a system bleed.
