True enough. Lines are a PITA, but really not that time consuming on a lift.
But, if you can do the fuel lines, the brake line will seem easy, especially now that you've had practice....

DD,

I would replace the whole length. I tried patching in a piece with flare kit and could not get it so seal after many tries.

I don't think I'd want to try patching something like brake lines. I guess the hard lines run all the way from the master cylinder to where they attach to the hoses?

What if you DON'T have a lift? It looks like I'll need to replace mine. I do have jack stands, but even with those, it's not easy to manuever under the car and those rear brake lines don't look very easy to get to.
