SS Brake lines (probably a stupid q)
I just ordered some stainless steel brake lines from Moss today. They'll go on when I put the 1.8 brake set on that I have laying around. I am keeping my current calipers, though.
My question: what order does one do the work in? As in, do I bleed the system, pull the lines, put the new ones on, and refill everything? That would mean the system would be full of air at one point.
I'm not clear on what one does when swapping brake lines.
Sorry for my ignorance.

Dosent matter which order you put them in but you must bleed them in this order-
Pass rear
Drivers rear
Pass front
Drivers front last.

Should have mentioned- I understand you work from the furthest point from the Brake Master Cylinder to the closest.
My question is, what's the first step- just unhook the line and put the new one in, then bleed?
I guess, here is a basic how-to on my question: http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...ines.aspx?pg=2

DRIVER REAR IS FURTHEST.
this is easiest: jack up the car and remove all four wheels, replace all the lines, and then proceed to bleed.
start at driver rear, then pass rear, then pass front and driver front. put your wheels back, drop the end.
