order of disassembly/reassembly 200 1989

Are there 8 flex lines? Could be, but I can only think of 6.

Any event, You can do all these items one corner at a time. Remove tire, remove caliper, remove rotor.. I forget where the wheel studs are pressed, but you might need to remove the hubs too, as the studs are probably pressed into the hubs. So, might as well do wheel bearings too (press or other special tools required).

That's for the front. Doing the rears (especially the wheel studs) is gonna be a bit different, and likely more difficult.

And yes, the proper tool for those brake lines is an absolute must. And not a cheap one from harbor freight. When I got my brake line wrench at Napa, guy said.. 'yeah, I got one, but they ain't cheap.. $17' for one little 11mm wrench... to which I said 'considering how many brake lines I've ruined, it's the best $17 I'll ever spend'...

Now, the big question, why are you doing all this? If all those parts are bad, sure.... I can see it. But, it's a hell of a lot of work if you're talking preventive stuff...

What you're talking about is a LOT of work. Not to mention $ on parts that really don't need replacing unless they are known to be bad.
