Don't know about best, but when I installed new brake lines on my 
Spitfire a few years ago I didn't do anything special.  I just put 
pressure on the pedal (I used a board propped between the seat and 
the pedal, some people prefer to use a wife) and opened then closed a 
valve.  Don't even recall what order I did the wheels.  It took a 
while because I could get only one pedal stroke without having to get 
up from the wheel and do it again, but it got done nevertheless.  
Centering the PDWADAWPDA (Actual Pressure Warning Differential 
Warning Pedal Difference, or something, probably not in that order) 
took a few extra iterations but wasn't hard.
