There are a few ways to do it,
start with the lines your replacing, do not back bleed them all. (this is where you pass fluid through the caliper upto the reservoir) as there is no fluid in the other lines, you will have massive airlocks.
I would.
conventionally bleed them all. it is a lot longer than back bleeding, but it will prevent airlocks, and it will mean you wont be just wasting fluids.
this is the only way i can see the you can guarantee there will be no air left in the system once your done
you will however require a 2nd person to press on the brake pedal as an when you crack off the bleed nipple.
