Hi Andy et al-



The folks at Earl's indicate that their hoses should last a lifetime, as

long as they don't suffer mechanical damage and are reasonably protected

from heat.  All the $higher$ end fittings and hoses are reusable, and the

fittings swivel to reduce stresses and installation hassles.  The up front

costs are similar to Aeroquip, but unlike Aeroquip the hoses don't require

any special tools or talent to fabricate, and they should never have to be

replaced.  The only caveat I can think of is that if one installed the

Teflon lined hose on the brake caliper, the lining could melt if you got

the brake hot enough.  I'm not sure if that's possible without a fire,

though-



FWIW-

Standard industry practice is to replace hoses at overhaul time.
