SS Brake Line replacements on xa/xb1

Has anyone here replaced their brake lines on the xa? Planning on doing it this weekend and not looking forward to any "surprise." Any special tools needed or problems i might run into?

Thanks!

Just make sure you know how to bleed the brakes correctly. New lines, so get the air out. As for tools... I think the 10mm wrench can take apart the entire xa/xb... but don't quote me on that.

How much do you think a shop would charge to do the job?

I have a set of AP SS collecting dust just waiting to be installed.

I think I will switch over to synthetic brake fluid while I am at it.
