Simple, I don't like to break things. Besides, having a new brake line made by the autoparts store guys might be asking for trouble. I don't know how to make a double flair and am not willing to learn.

I just might have a shop loosen all 4 of the brake line fittings, then drive home and replace the hardware. I also don't have a butane burner, so heating things up first is not a very good option. It would probably make for a very good charcoal grill starter???

I can only assume that the brake fluid was never flushed in 20 years. The rear rotor does not have a lip on the outside edge, but the rust is extreme.
