Pretty simple. There's a clip at the connection of each brake line to their perspective hardlines that needs to be removed. Then using a flare nut wrench (aka line wrench) unbolt the brake lines from the hardlines, unbolt the line from the caliper, and replace with your stainless steel ones.
Bleed the system afterwards and check for any leaks and you're good to go.

open the line on the caliper your currently working on and have a buddy press the brakes slowly till brake fluid comes out in a stream. Rinse repeat for the other three calipers. There is a certain order your reccomended to do this in but i can't remember it off the top of my head.

What you are doin there is getting any air out that may have snuck into the line while you had the hose away from the caliper/hard line. Air won't stop a car, atleast not in this type of brake set-up. Don't want to get them nice steel hoses on and end up in the rear end of someone...

That's what I was taught: farthest to nearest.
