Re: Should I replace my brake lines...again?

Thanks PackardV8! I wasn't expecting that. I have been told that brake fluid absorbs moisture and it rusts the lines from the inside out. That is why you are supposed to replace the fluid. I have not seen that in my experience though. That's why I asked the question. I would rather hear from people with experience rather than possible urban legends.

The 43+ year old lines at the time on my Packard were very rusty. I'll look again next time I am under the car, but they seemed in good shape still.
