Help: Brake Line install?

I'm looking for a good write up or some basic instructions on how to install SS brake lines.

I don't mind jumping into projects and learning first hand, but it doesn't hurt having some know-how going into it :D

If you want some help doing it, let me know! It's really straight forward. Take the old stuff off, put the new stuff on and then bleed the brakes.

it's important to use all brackets/mounting positions that the stock lines had when replacing them with ss lines. Those mounting points are there for a reason and if you orientate the lines incorrectly they can rub against tires /other suspension components and the outcome won't be good. It's not bad though just take your time. Be VERY CAREFUL when trying to brake loose the hard-line from the fitting on the rubber one. PB-blast them ahead of time and if they still don't come out you will need to use a little heat. You'll break the fittings right off the line if you crank on them right away.

The only thing i'm worried about is taking the old lines off, will fluid go flying everywhere? I haven't done many brake jobs besides your basic rotors and pad changes.
