Given the description you've provided, and since you had no indications of leaking or significant damage, I don't believe it would be necessary to replace the hard lines. You will be eliminating one of the normal trouble spots, since you plan to replace the hoses in conjunction with rebuilding the brakes. Along with the rebuild, I assume you are planning to flush the entire system and replace the existing brake fluid. This will help remove any remaining contaminants from the system. Good luck! don
