I've got some speed bleeders that I bought fron Newspeedmaster, but haven't installed them yet. When swapping them in, how much brake fluid, if any, leaks out?

VERY little fluid will be lost when changing bleeder screws. There is no pressure on the brake fluid unless you're applying the brakes.
Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come; He will guide you in all truth:

I didn't look to see if you were a newb, You didn't state that you had air in the lines in your first post, just that you put the speed bleeders in.
There are people from different age groups, professional back grounds, personal interests & experiences here! THE ONE THING HERE (well not only one) everybody trys to help everyone else out(at lest I do) there maybe some arguing now and again and definitely some ribbing but all in all just a bunch of "good old friends" that I'll probably never meet!
