Default Need quick help: brake fluid flush

I am in the middle of a brake job, and I need to know what the fastest way is to flush out all the old brake fluid. I have removed whatever I could from the master cylinder, but manually pumping the brakes with the bleeders open is taking forever and getting me nowhere. What is the fastest and easiest way to flush out the old fluid?
Then when I put in the new fluid, I should just bleed them as usual, right? Do I need to do anything special?

Also what is the best way to get off a rusted-on rotor. I have tried a hammer, but am not having much luck.

Thanks, Jordan

Removing the brake fluid from the reservoir was a bad idea. There is no fast way to do it. You have to do it one wheel at a time but you want to keep the reservoir topped off so that air doesn't get in the lines. If you have been pumping the brakes with the reservoir empty then you will have to pump the ENTIRE system now.
When you do bleed the brakes make sure you keep it topped off.
