Question for anybody who might still be following this thread:
Turns out I need to replace the lower parts of the brake lines (down in both wheel wells) where the brake line is rubber coated.

Is it a good idea to use plumber type teflon tape on those fittings? I don’t want to go through all the work and get it back together and find out I have a leak...

Not sure if brake fluid would eat teflon tape, but those are compression fittings. Compress them with appropriate torque (We allways used the ‘goodentight’ standard), and if they leak a drip, compress them some more...
