I replaced my brake lines and need to bleed the brakes.
Front disk, rear drum.
Should I bleed one before the other?

You bleed them in order of distance from the master cylinder. Passenger rear first, driver rear second, passenger front third, driver front fourth.

If you get a set of quick bleeders they work really well.

X2 on this. Pump til there's a constant stream of fluid. Generally 3 to 4 pumps will suffice for each.

Exactly :)

I bought the air/pneumatic brake bleeder from HF a while back, it's awesome, you just place the hose over the bleeder screw and pull the trigger; its actually pretty sweet.

Make sure to keep an eye on the fluid level in the master cylinder. If it gets too low, you'll have to start all over again. Don't ask me how I know.
