Brake lines
Anyone try replacing the steel brake lines that run from the master cylinder to each front wheel and also the length of the truck, front to rear?
Any major problems? I just did the job and running the lines wasn't actually that bad but for some reason I couldn't get the brakes to build pressure. someone mentioned priming the master cylinder?

I did mine with no problems, but I did one segment at a time and tested after each segment was completed. This way had there been a problem I would have had an easy time finding it.
You may need to flush/bleed the entire system from beginning to end.
Bleed the brakes in this sequence....
1) Passenger side rear
2) Driver side rear
3) Passenger side front
4) Driver side front
Unless you have one of those pressurized bleeding systems you will need an assistant to insure it has been done properly.
