Default SS brake lines and clutch line help

I ordered some stainless steel brake lines, a stainless steel clutch line and some new brake pads the other day and received them last night. They don't have any instructions with them though. I'm sure its not extremely complicated to do, but I'm pretty new to all this. Does anyone have a link to a good walk through?

I can do the pads, thats extremly simple, its really just the lines and then bleeding the bakes and clutch that I'm not 100% sure how to do.

Thanks guys, and if this was an easy search, sorry I'm at work and didn't have time to really do an extensive search.

Thanks, that doesn't look too complicated. So quick question, my brake fluid is about the color of a darker beer, so I want to just change it all completly. How do I drain all of the fluid out? Does that change the bleeding process at all?

Easiest way is with a Motive Power Bleeder. Just google it. Basically it connects to your fluid resovoir and as you open the bleeder screw on each corner it pushes all the old fluid out. Super easy and quick. Well spent money on an a great tool. About $60 or so

Dang, I wish I would have known about that before this weekend. I'm planning on doing this Sunday so I don't think I can get it by then.

Are there any other ways to change all the fluid and bleed it?

Open the bleeder screw and have a buddy pump the brakes 500x till the new fluid flows out. Make sure your resovoir is full too. If you get air in the ABS you have to take it to a dealer. You don't want that.
