My brakes are spongy(light pressure with slow stopping power until you floor the brake pedal) and driving is getting a little dangerous. Need help on the easiest way to change my brake fluid and draining the system, while "bleeding" them as well.
 
first why are you draining it sponginess comes from air in the brake lines get a small set of wrenches out and someone to help you have a friend pump the brakes about 6 times should do and hold them while you go to each caliper or drum with some aquarium air hose works great and small clear bottle fill bottle partially with bf attach hose to bleeder screw and put hose in bottle use small wrench to loosen bleeder screw once fluid does not bubble air is out of that brake line repeat until air is gone at each caliper or drum east to do
