Going to replace all the hard brake lines on my vert so I am looking for some tips, how-tos, etc. since I got underneath and did a quick scan of what the job would take and came up with a few questions...

Can the hard lines be taken out in one piece? The ones that go underneath the body (center sections) at each end go under the plates that are put into a vert for support. Will I be able to snake them out or do I need to drill the rivets and take these support plates/braces off?

If I do drill the rivets and take out the plates, are these plates under load or stress? In other words, are they holding something together and will they "line up" properly in order to re-rivet them?

Should I stick with reg lines or get stainless steel (I'm going with a M-2300-K kit so I would have to cut and reflare the one line for the kit)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I did it, and I just ditched the plates all together. They don't do a whole lot, and a good pair of subrame connectors will tighten up any loss you may have had. But if you are goin to replace everything, then I say just go ahead and cut them.
