Best to get the shielded lines with the stainless steel netting around them.

Sometimes the flexible brake hoses from the calipers to the hard lines B deteriorate and swell inside and act like a one-way valve and don't allow the brakes to release.B

Greeting List, 

Shortly after buying my 79 a couple years ago I discovered the brakes, 
front and rear, would hang up.B After 20-30 minutes they would release. 

The PO put new wheel cylinders on the rear, so I left them alone.B Next I 
pulled the calipers and rebuilt them.B To be sure they worked the master 
cylinder was replaced with a new one. 

So I got everything back together and tested- fronts and rears would stop 
all wheels and release immediately.B That was a couple weeks ago. 

Yesterday I realized the front calipers won't release. 

Any ideas why?B I'd rather drive the car with working brakes. 

Thanks all!
