Default Installing Speed Bleeders

I have a set of Speed Bleeders arriving soon. According to the website, I just unscrew the old bleeders and screw in the new ones. This doesn't seem right, since brake fluid would run all over the place.

Do I need to drain my brake fluid before installing these? Or is there a trick to it? The same question goes for installing SS brake lines, as well: do I need to drain the system first?

Thanks, guys.

You will get air in the lines on both installs - obviously more on the lines than the bleed bolts. Just do a good flush and you should be set. You may want to upgrade fluid while you are at all of this. then a very good flush is required to rid the system of the old fluid completely.

Is alcohol the best fluid to use to flush the system?

No! Never flush the brake system with anything but brake fluid.
