My S10 is about five and half years old now with 68,000 miles, and I'm thinking of replacing the original brake hoses. I started doing some research, and it seems like a new set of the OEM rubber hoses are actually a lot more expensive than the aftermarket stainless steel braided ones I've looked at (it's over $300 for just the front OEM brake hoses). So I'm leaning towards the stainless steel ones, both because I'm cheap and because of the performance advantages of the stainless steel braided ones. Trouble is, I've never used the stainless steel ones, so I'm looking for recommendations for a complete brake line replacement kit that has everything needed (so I don't have to piecemeal out the job). So far I've seen the Galfer and Spiegler kits, but wanted to know if there were other good options that someone here was familiar with.
I've bled and flushed brake systems before, but I've never disconnected any brake hoses from the ABS unit. Is there anything tricky about that I should be aware of?
