Quick braided line question
I'm doing the whole brake system in my car..All rotors had crazy thickness variation and runout, so they are all getting replaced. The brake fluid is getting replaced with DOT3..the stuff that was in there I'm assuming is the original :
and it was BLACK. I bled the system yesterday at school and all 4 bleeders were pretty much rusted shut, so those got refurbed with steel wool and very small drill bits. All 4 rubber brake hoses are cracked as hell, so those are getting replaced with Goodridge Stainless Steel Braided lines. My question is, how easy is the SS line install? Will I need any special hardware, or will the stock hardware work? Thanks in advance..I will post pics of the old stuff when it is all done, I believe it is all stock with 139k miles on it

Straight forward install w/ 2 notes
1 Mine were indexed right & left. If you reverse them the hose won't lay right @ the caliper
2 Reuse the old washers. The replacements are thinner. So the bolt bottoms out before
it crushes down the washer. Therefore it leaks.
