how does one go about flushing this stuff?

Its a big job. It basically entails loosening all the brake bleeder screws having someone dump brake fluid in the reservoir while someone else depresses the brake pedal. Repeat until its clear

just keep bleeding the right rear wheel till it looks clean... then rebleed the ENTIRE SYSTEM like 3 times then youll be good to go... pretty time consuming project but your brakes will feel better in the end

Yep... it's one of the things I hate doing on cars the most, even though, if you think about it, it's really not that complicated.
I just did this about a week ago. The engine was out of the car and I don't know why, but I removed the master cylinder from the brake booster too, so I had to flush the cylinder as well.
Either way, the most important thing is to not let the brake fluid reservoir go dry, because then you have to start all over again.
I used the Autozone $5 tool to flush mine. Start with the rear right wheel, then move to rear left, then front right, then front left.
Loosen the bleeder a little bit and have someone pump the brake (and watch the fluid level) until you get fresh fluid coming out of the bleeder. Repeat on all 4 wheels.

ha ha, I think he was thinking more along the lines of a system drain plug followed by refilling the reservoir.....
