I've read where a pump for brake-line bleeding is handy, especially if you don't have a reliable helper. I'll probably check out Autozone for one of these.
Planned steps I'll follow:
1) remove fluid from reservior (Syringe or Turkey Baster?)
2) remove caliper from mount/push pistons in to push additional fluid into reservoir and remove fluid
3) drain remaining fluid through bleed valves
4) One wheel at a time, remove old brake line from Saab abd caliper & replace with new steel line (using standard tools). Should I use teflon tape when installing the new lines?
5) re-mount calipers
6) Add new fluid (dot4)/bleed brakes
