Braided Brake Lines - Any good ? Easy to fit ?

[Ian-man]

I changed all my lines for braided in the last few weeks. However I had loads of bother bleeding them. Tried the usual method but nothing. Bought a vacuum pump gizmo that's supposed to suck the fluid through. That didn't work properly either ( it seemed to suck air through the bleed nipple threads and frosh up the brake fluid in the bleed pipe). Ended up using a syringe and hose on the bleed nipple to push the fluid and air up to the master cylinder. then standard bleeding after that. Brakes feel much better now. 

My back brake pedal had excessive travel and you could not lock up the back wheel even stamping hard on the pedal.
So fitted new piston seals as one piston moving more than the other and fitted a rear master cylinder refurb kit.
