vacuum pump is pumping. got most of the fluid out when the pump was off, I jacked it up and turned the wheels back and forth to get most of the fluid out of the gearbox/lines. I like the idea of adding a filter and cooler, I'll do a search on that...unless any of you happen to be subscribed to a thread covering that.

hooked a vacuum pump up to the top of the reservoir and let it run, worked really well...brakes and steering are great now.
