I assume you want to replace the steel lines, but while you are at it check the rubber lines as well. I try to use rubber caps to plug the lines going to the master cylinder if possible, in order to keep some fluid in the MC. This makes bleeding the system much easier, especially if your car has ABS. Disconnect the line closest to the MC which you do not intend to replace, or from the MC itself, and quickly plug the line to the MC. Use the removed line to fashion a replacement by bending the new line to match the old one. Using a tubing bender makes this fairly simple. If you must cut the new line to length, you must use proper tools to create a new "double flare" end. Once all is installed, connect the MC insuring it is full of fluid. Start bleeding the wheel furthest from the MC first, keeping an eye on the fluid level in the MC to make sure no air enters the system. Repeat on other wheel. Go back to first wheel and do again just to be sure, same with second. Tighten all bleed screws, top up fluid, check feel of brake pedal and test drive.
