Replacing Brake Lines

How involved is changing brake lines on a GTA with 4 wheel disc brakes?

I am not an expert on the subject but I would think that you would just have to bend the lines yourself or get after market oem replacements...then again I could be wrong...I would get a few more opinions before you go riping out your brake lines. Just my opinion!

brake lines

i'm far from an expert, and a 92 rs is no GTA, however i installed braided steel lines from summit and it was a piece of cake.

Remove debris from ends of lines, remove, cover up exposed areas with tape to avoid contamination if needed while they are off, put on new ones, bleed brakes, enjoy!

On a side note speed bleeders help bleed the brakes much quicker and while you are at it you might as well replace the pads if they aren't that new.

You are talking about the flex lines, right?
