Not long ago, I replaced all of the hard lines in the truck without removing anything except the old lines, but had to use a union to join the two lines that came im the kit to reach the rear brakes. If one line blew, more are sure to follow.

i only use the alloy lines for the past 10 years. i used to have to replace lines every other year, since i started using the alloy lines, i have not replaced one once it was put in.
