Flushing Brake System

I just ordered Project Mu pads, Brembo slotted rotors, Stainless steel lines, and Project Mu Fluid. I know how to do pads and rotors, but i've never done lines or replaced the fluid. Would someone care to help me out? I can probably figure out how to get the lines off, but how should i flush the system?

Hey make sure you have flare nut wrenches to remove the brake lines.

They are 10mm.

Flush it the way that you would bleed only with more new fluid.

Good luck I heart my project mu pads and ss lines!

So my initial idea was to disconnect the lines and pump them all out. That wouldn't work? Is there any other tools i'd need?

No special tools needed.

If you do that you get air in to the lines

so you would need a lot more fluid

just dont strip or brake anylines thats bad.

So you pimps with the project mu's how is the performance with the brembo rotors? I was thinking about project mus but your looking at $500-600 more then the brembos.

Be sure to let us know xdrift.
