20200516_171628.jpg The front brake hoses were too badly rusted & degraded (braiding exposed) to risk driving, when new ones are only ~$20ea.  The Copper flat washers are under $1ea.  Before beginning, I inserted the 2 old (worn-down) pads between the new ones to keep the pistons from hyperextending when I pumped the pedal up.  After tightening the fittings on the new hoses, I compressed the pistons fully to reverse-bleed the lines. So I barely lost any brake fluid during the swap.
