What is the best way to bleed brake lines. I just installed a set of Stanless Steel lines and was wondering if there is a fast way to get the lines filled with fluid?

Get the BIGGEST Syringe you can find. Put a small rubber tube on it. Place this set-up on the bleeder and draw out on the syringe creating a vacuum. Open the bleeder and keep drawing (air at first then brake fluid) Watch your brake fluid reservoir and add fluid as needed........
Repeat process several times till ya have ONLY brake fluid coming out of bleeder into syringe.

Good luck......... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I assume I need to keep my lever compressed for the syringe to draw out the fluid?

NOPE. Just draw the air out till ya have brake fluid........

Let it sit for a day and bleed it again by pumping the pedal or lever. That eliminates any traped or mixed air in the system.......

I use the Mighty Vac. Its that one man bleeder you can get at the auto parts store for like 20 bucks. Works excellent.
