You don't want it to jump out of the resevoir either, lol. A turkey baster or syringe can be used to remove some of the fluid if you need to remove some.

The Brembo DIY will work fine for removing the calipers because they bolt right up to the same holes on the V6.

edit: as long as you don't crack the bleeder screw or your resevoir is bone dry you do not need to bleed the brakes
Excellent advice
