Fair enough....I feel the stainless lines helped my vehicles but to each his own, but your point on a novice bleeding brake lines is valid. If you dont know how to bleed the brake lines of air properly, dont open the lines or replace them. The brake job with caliper can be done easily without opening any of the brake lines, leave the brake hose connected to the caliper and move it to the side of the rotor and secure it ( coat hangers work well. Do the pad work with the caliper still connected to the hose. if you dont open any brake lines, bleeding the brakes is not necessary.
