Re: Brake problem question

I just redid my brake system on my 1972 c10 after a failed passenger side wheel bearing decided for me. New rotors,pads lead to new rubber hoses,leading to new brake booster,leading to new master cylinder,leading to new front brake lines...eventually it'll be all new. I just went with over the counter reman brake booster and new ac/delco master cylinder. One thing I was told and had in my head from the beginning is, brakes are definitely not something you want to save pennies on. You should always try to buy "new" vs. "Reman" anytime you can.Stainless brake lines are one of those "I can afford it." Items. They sure do look nice and practically last forever, but are a PITA to have to mess with when things don't wanna route where they need to be.
