    550 Rear Brake Lines

    Finally looking to replace the 35yr old brake lines on my 1980 550. Im confused on what to do with the rear. Its appears that I have a regular rubber line that connects to a swing arm connection, then a thin metal tube running down the swingarm to another connection, and then another short rubber line connected to the caliper. How do I replace this... 1 new line? I've searched and dont see much at all on replacing the 550 brake lines.
