If I change my 14 year old brake hoses for new Braided ones are my old threaded connections likely to crumble or shear off?

I'd soak them with WD40 for a few days before but anything I should be careful of?

Going to get my friendly garage to do it, do I need to warn them about bleeding the system? is there anything peculiar about the way you bleed these systems? I don't want the fragile ABS unit to throw a wobbly.

Many thanks.
