    IMO, you need to do a full rebuild of all, soft parts, including lines. Be sure to flush all of the "bad" fluid out as much as you can so that there isn't residual in the system to ruin your new parts.

    Everything should be available from Matco.

    I agree, a total rebuild of all soft parts along with a thorough flush of the system to remove all old fluid. However, I am not sure about the brake lines themselves. Depending on what they are made of you may be alright with just flushing. I would do a check with the supplier of the lines to find out compatibility with the old fluid. If the lines are easy to replace with new then that would be the best option.
