I was considering doing that. I've got a set of slightly used Textars here. I was a bit learly of using them again but I figure if I sand them down nicely they shouldnt have too much of a problem.

The brake booster hose seems intact.. I would have though any less vacuum to the booster and my brakes would be firm, hard and somewhat ineffective.

I think I'll give the reverse bleeding a try. All my calipers, most of my lines and the master are rather new so there shouldn't be too much crap in there. All the reviews I saw on other forums had high praise for the device/method. So we'll see. Conceptually, it make sense, to me at least.
