When opening the hydraulic system, you want to prevent gravity from draining the parts you are not going to be replacing. You can disconnect your rubber flex lines one at a time, capping or plugging the hard lines to prevent the system draining. Then you can do what every you want or need to do, finally replacing the calipers with the new SS braided lines and connecting them one at a time to the hard lines. Now you will need to bleed the system. beg, borrow, or steal a Motive pressure bleeder to do the job.

Normally, you would bleed or flush the clutch system while doing the brakes, so yes, it is a good time to do it. And while bleeding the clutch, you should have the clutch pedal held to the floor.

Unless you let the system drain and get air into the ABS/PSM system controls, the use of the Durametric or PIWIS is not required.
