The brakeline leading to my rear drivers-side drum has rusted through. All the lines leading to the rear of the car are rusted. Should the local autozone have replacement brakelines or should i order some i have seen in jegs? Is there any advantage to the braided steel lines?, or am i just wasting my money on that? Any tips on replacing them? Anything to make the job go easier would be much appreciated.

 

Your local parts store will just have straight sections of hard line that you'll have to bend yourself to fit. There are some companies that make pre-bent replacement lines but I don't remember any names offhand.
