1-no, just the front and chassis to axle flex lines

2-yes it would be a lot easier to use a flex line to rep[lace the stock hardline, but your brakes will really suck afterwards. Its not terrible hard to replace that hardline, but you need to jack the car up as high as you can, a lift would be better, remove the trans crossmember, dont forget to support the trans, and work it up in there.

Well i single handed found out that I had 3 hard lines ruined, both the axle lines where busted about half way down on and 3/4 the way on the other and the front to rear was busted about where the drain plug is for the back floor boards. so I want to replace them, would it be easier to take all into a shop and cost a *** load or just fix in the backyard cause so i can keep it within cost

depends what tools you have handy, the axle lines are easy, the hard one is the one that goes from front to back, but if you get the car high enough you can do it. Just be sure to replace the flex lines too while your at it because i can guarantee you the old ones wont come apart.
