If going down that road why not change your flexi hoses as well

As a project on my Rover 45 I am in the middle of a suspension bush overhaul and am changing out the flexi hoses while stripped down . Amazingly my metal brake pipes have still the original green coating on and have all undone, but have been treated all the time I have owned the car which again is dry stored
It was only a couple of months ago we replaced the rear brake pipes on one of the rover 75's and as sworks quoted the pipes corrode within the clips
As Mike Noc said with good quality tools brake pipes not difficult to change
