Brake fluid replacement

Well, the time has come to replace my brake fluid (DIY) and I've read several posts on forums on how to. Questions are:

1) If no parts are replaced, is a pressure bleeder still required?
2) Anything to disconnect as far as ABS electrical beforehand?
3) One man bleeder kit should do just fine, shouldn't it?
4) Advice on how not to let air into the system while dooing this bleed?

I'll be using ATE super blue racing fluid, so it will be very easy to tell when each line has completely flushed out the old.

Any expert advice is welcomed.
 
1. Pressure bleeder makes it a one man job
2. No
3 Yes (as 1 above)
4. Use 3 above

ATE Super Blue racing fluid is DOT 4 so OK (a polyethylene glycol-based fluid). Don't use a silicone based fluid as it will damage the seals in your current system.
