First, suck all of the fluid out of the master cylinder. Then refill with fresh fluid. That way the fluid now going through the system is clean. It doesn't make sense to push the old/dirty/contaminated fluid all the way through the brake system.

After you install your new hoses let the brakes gravity bleed for a while. Gravity bleeding is not effective to completely bleed the system but sure does save some work.

I've used synthetic brake fluid for years and have never had any problems. Most (I believe all) are compatible with regular fluid. Check the container to be sure.
I'm familure with what is inolved and how to flush and bleed. I was wonder if there was specific sequence or order in which to bleed/flush. Perhaps a manual would tell me this, but I figured someone would just know. but I guess not.
