MaddieCycle Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I have to do a master cyl on my '86 KC 4x4 so I figured I'd do my 4 rubber brake lines as well. Ordered the top of the line Raybestos from Rock Auto and they are all "Made in China", with manufacture dates stamped on them going back as far as the early 2000s. All 4 lines on the truck are dry as a bone and show no sings of wear from the outside. The truck stops fine. I don't believe brake lines rot from the inside out like coolant lines do. SO, given they all look good as-is, have quite a bit of rust on the fittings making me think getting the old ones out will be a pain and could result in things breaking, and the replacements are NOS Chinese, I am thinking about just doing the master cyl, leave the existing lines in place, and put these hoses on the shelf for some future time if needed. Whadda ya think? 1 Quote Link to comment
