far as pushing the air out of the brake line, here's my method. Open the brake fluid reservoir cap, then push the caliper piston all the way in using a clamp and the old brake pad. Install new pads and put everything back together. Close reservoir cap.
That's not pushing air out, that's pushing the piston back into the caliper, which is pushing the brake fluid back to the line/reservoir.
Pushing air out/bleeding the lines is what you do at the caliper when you change the caliper.
