Default Prop Valve install?

Kinda a dumb question here. I just had Teg rear disc brakes installed on my hatch, I was using the Civic prop valve. Brakes feel so so, I hit a junkyard this weekend and just found a 4040 prop valve from a Teg. My question is, what would be the best steps to remove the prop valve from my civic without making a mess? Crack the bleeder on the front brakes or rear or both till empty? Then remove? I just dont want brake fluid squirting out and making a huge mess! Thanks

Just use a flarenut wrench to loosen the fittings first. Put a rag underneath of course.

Don't drain the fluid before or any more than you need. No need to introduce any more air than necessary.

Bleed all 4 corners until it runs clean, and do another round to be sure.

You can buy rubber brake line caps at your local auto parts store. They will slow the dripping considerably.
