Kawasaki brake fluid and changing brake caliper?

Wanting to change my rear brake caliper as it's worn and ugly, any advice on how? I don't know the current brand of brake fluid so will need to drain it and change it, how should I do this? I have a Kawasaki '94 ZXR 400Kawasaki brake fluid and changing brake caliper?

Though this should be a simple job, I would recommend getting hold of a Haynes or other workshop manual if you are tackling your own maintenance. They work step-by-step, and provide photos.Kawasaki brake fluid and changing brake caliper?
the caliper should be easy - disconnect the brake hose over a container and clean up spilled fluid (its bad for paint, metal, and anything else it spills on) remove the bolts (most likely allen head pins) and slide caliper off rotor. install in reverse.

use any brake fluid labeled DOT 3. place small clear hose over open bleeder and in container of clean brake fluid.

fill master cyl. and gently work brake untill no more bubbles are coming from hose. keep master cyl. from running dry.Kawasaki brake fluid and changing brake caliper?
