Why would you replace a peice of hard line with an ss braided line. Isn't the purpose of SS Braided lines to be used in place where a hard line cannot be used and to get better performance than a rubber line?

Well it is a rear brake line, and it would be a pain to pull out and especially getting it back in without any tweaks in the line. Soo I am replacing the entire hose with braided SS. I'm not sure how they plan on doing it but I am guessing they will just cut the fitting's off my existing line and attatch them to the braided line.
Ruflyf, that is a good question.... I guess I will just find out the hard way.
Volume311 I am replacing it because it is spewing brake fluid... going through a bottle every 3 days

A rear brake line would be even easier than a front. Each one only runs half the length of the axle.
You might want to take another look at that.
I am away from my manuals, but I'm fairly certain that there's a single rubber line that drops onto the axle, and from there it is split into two hardlines, one for each side.

I will look again but I am fairly certain that it runs the entire length of the vehicle above EVERYTHING. And above a box in the back passenged side that will not come off.
