In a word - no. The problem is not fitting the new ones, its getting the old ones off so new pipes can be made for you at a motor factors. Unfortunately you'll find that the old pipes will be very tight to remove due to corrosion and the fact that the unions that you have to undo are made from a fairly soft metal so that a spanner easily rounds them off. Often you'll find that you will need to replace some of the flexible pipes as well - the list goes on. You will also need to be able to undo the bleed nipples on the front calipers and rear slave cylinders which can suffer from the same problems. Although I replace many brake pipes, its never a job I relish or can accurately quote for.
