Default Brake Fluid light ON - Is the DIY hard or not?

Hey guys,

I need to change my brake fluid and since the weather is great now I was wondering is hard to do and save some cash or bring it to the indy? I don't mind working on cars but never did a brake fluid change before.

What do you think?
Thanks y'all.

You need a pressure bleeder to do it alone or you need helper to pump pedal. I prefer pressure bleeding method. You can buy it abound $50 and gonna last many years. It is not hard. There are many threads regarding bleeding the brake system on the net. Just google it or look for it in this forum
