after accidently touching one of the hard brake lines with the welder and putting a hole in it .. all the fluids have leaked out ...
when i get it fixed is there anything special i have to do to fill it back up?
besides the usual bleeding?

don't push the brake pedal all the way in until she's full! Or so I've heard - pushes the piston past the regular seal and into junk/sediment that ain't good for it or something.
That's all I know.

You can just open up all the bleed nipple and let it gravity feed if you dont want to screw your master cyl.
When you push your brake pedal past the normal range, the seal starts to rub against all the crud/rust in the master cylinder and gets destroyed. Brake fluid will then run back towards the brake pedal linkage and prob drip inside the cabin.
