Hard brake lines: OK to use good used ones?
It looked like I was about to finally end the most epic simple brake job of all-time, and sure enough, one of the brake lines snapped in the rear when I went to replace the hose. The steel lines look plain wretched back there and need to be replaced; the front ones look fantastic. I do have some rear brake lines from a parts car that look quite good, that have been sitting in my shed. Any reason not to trust used hard brake lines that look perfect, assuming they are thoroughly flushed?
