How difficult to install pre-bent lines?
Have a '92 Camaro, don't drive it much but wife refuses to sell it. Has C5 brake conversion up front and manual S10 rear wheel cylinders on stock drums. Brakes seemed a little soft (hard to compare with lack of driving it), and wife said light came on so assume we have a leak. Plan to just replace all the hard lines with SS and be done with it. I've bent stuff in the past on trucks, but for the extra $120 or whatever, I'd rather not spend the time. How difficult is it going to be to swap these (barring normal issues with rust/frozen fittings and brake bleeders)? Not sure how clearance is.
I plan to swap the flexible brake hoses which I'm in there. Is it 'really worth it' to do braided stainless or should I just stick with regular rubber?
Thanks

Re: How difficult to install pre-bent lines?
I recently swapped the hard line with pre-bent stainless going to the rear and it wasn't horrible. Just some jack stands. A second set of hands to assist can go a long way. We fed it from the front of the car through to the back.
