Default Stoptech brake lines

has anyone here installed Stop Tech brake lines before? i have a set that's been sitting in the trunk of my car for a long time that i've been itching to install. unfortunately i suck at figuring things out myself so i'm asking anyone in the forum that has them or has installed them for some instructions or a step by step guide, i tried the website but they just had the full brake replacement instructions... so yeah, any help is appreciated
TIA

You'll be draining your fluid so the big deal here is being prepared to bleed the brakes, if you aren't interested in doing this take it to a shop, Brake bleeding must be done right, because if you don't you will die.

As far as installing the lines themselves:
Remove top of fluid resevoir.
Disconnect lines at the caliper and let them drip into a pan, cup rag, whatever.
I think it might be 2 or 3 bolts on each side. Just look at the line, remove it, and reinstall it.
