Default Do those SS lines have a plastic cover? If not, carry around some spares

as you'll lose one.

Don't ask how I know this, OK

Default nice

I replaced all of mine with ss lines too. not that much more than the oem lines.
had to make a hard line for the rear as one nut stripped.
Oh, and the trip to sears for the 11mm flare nut wrench.

Default I did both of my cars this summer, the penetrating spray, is a must...

The one I didn't use it on was impossible and every other line that I sprayed and soaked was soooo easy.

Default Followup: Second fluid flush brought back feel.

No squishiness now. Can't say I can tell a difference between the stock rubber hoses and the new stainless ones.
