I'm pulling a car out of storage hopefully soon that's been parked for 11 yrs. I'm replacing all the rubber components in the brake system for safety. The front brake lines are stainless braided with a Teflon liner. Should I replace these also? Do they deteriorate like rubber hoses? I know in a fuel system they say they will last the life of the car. Thanks in advance
