i think i can get the pre-bent lines for it at autozone but thank you so much for the offer so now the question is how hard are they to replace?

meh they arent that hard. if i were you i would replace the hoses too and the lines to save yourself a head ache. oh and before you try to do the lines you are gunna want to try and break open the bleeder valves on the calipars and wheel cylinders. if they dont move you will have to replace them all. doing it on your own replacing everything would be a couple hundred dollars compared to a shop doing it for a grand or more.

from experience you might have to replace both calipars and the wheel cylinders to. the bleeder valves are almost always rusted into place. try soaking them with pb for a couple days, spray them a couple times a day before trying to open them.
