They have to be replaced after about 10 years to stay safe.....that's why there's a manufacturing date on every brake hose sold, original or aftermarket....

Oh...and VERY important: change the brake fluid at least every 2-3 years with a good quality DOT 4 fluid.....!
You'll be surprised to see how contaminated the old fluid is...!!
