Default Quick Help Please!!!!!!

Okay so I'm swapping my brakes and while pushing the caliper piston back in on my second brake my reservoir starts overflowing. How do I go about removiing some fluid? Also while getting one of my wheels off I had the hardest time w/ a lug nut and snapped the wheel stud in half. so how would I go about getting this one out and putting a new one in? Quick help would be greatly appreciated if you have aim my sn is transamws69706

You mean you can't set it? Put a few washers on it and use the lug nut to pull it tight. Turkey baster works good for removing fluids - just don't use it on Thanksgiving.
