Default bleeding breaks

I have a 93' Del Sol in which i want to put in steel braided breaklines. I can do rotors and pads, but lines is a bit out of my gasp. Anyone have a step by step for swapping those suckers out? I'll take links.

I bleed breaks every day. Sometimes 2-3 per day. Each break I take I bleed it for more time. 20-25 minutes...god damn working class sucks!

that was irrelevant.

get down there and pull the lines and pull them from the MC too and then run your steel braided in the same spot you ran the others. may need to use your stock brackets unless you want em dangling around.

To bleed brakes:

You need 2 people
A wrench to open/close the valve
A cup to bleed the fluid into

Person 2 puts a small tube on the end of the bleeder and puts it into a cup with some brake fluid in it
Person 1 gets in the car, and puts pressure on the brakes
Person 2 cracks the bleeder valve
Person 1 presses the pedal almost to the floor
Person 2 closes the bleeder valve

Repeat until there is no more air in the lines.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. To replace them you'll need to knock the little clips out where the brake lines attach to the hard lines. You'll see what I'm talking about if you look. Just get a screwdriver and a hammer to tap them out. Then you can *using a line wrench* remove them.
