Default Brake line and bleeding question 1999 Sc300

Hey guys I'm upgrading my brake lines to stainless. I wanted to know if I have to replace all the lines and then bleed the system or could I just bleed each line as I replace them? Thanks !!

You need to bleed them at the end. Start with the wheel furthest away from your master cylinder (rear passenger side) and work your way to the closest.

with modern ABS it doesn't matter too much. just take your time and get some quarter inch clear tube from lowes to see the bubbles come out.

Thanks Albatross. I bled everything twice and it turned out great!

When I bleed my brakes, I make sure I bleed the calipers to the point where all the dirty brake fluid comes completely out of each caliper, before i start really bleeding) making sure all the nasty brake fluid is out of brake fluid reservoir, just a thought!
And bleed old school way pump pedal/close open bleeder screw is the best method!!
