I just got my new pads and the goodrich SS lines, Is there anything to look out for when replacing the lines. IE any thing that might brake when I try to remove do to rust? Any advice would be great, thanks to all that respond.

Use flare nut wrenches on all of the brake line fittings that you cant get a socket on. Get some decent ones too. The cheap ones dont fit as snuggly and might bend a little under pressure. You might need some pb blaster to help loosen any rusted parts.

just watch out for the hardlines to break when taking the rubber ones off

Alright an excuse to buy mor tools, thats what I wanted to hear. PB Blaster is my best friend I use it on anything with any sign of corrosion. Thanks for the fast replies. Oh, and break bleeding is done from the closest wheel first or the farthest first?

Farthest first. Should be right rear, left rear, fwd right, and then the fwd left.

Whoa, back up the bus, guys. Per the FSM it's RR, LF, LR and then RF. Don't know why it's changed from the traditional sequence of starting from the furthest to the closest, but I suspect it has to do with cars now having 2 separate brake circuits, each working on diagonally opposite corners of the car.

It could have to do with a propotioning valve. Not sure if we have them, but Ive bled the brakes on some picky a$$ fords that have them.
