What should you have to pay for the putting on of new brakes on a 2004 sable No rotors to be recut?
It seems like mechanics always turn the rotors no matter what because they don't want to take the time to do the measurements to see if the rotor is in good condition. If they were to take the measurements they could extend the useful life of the rotor. So, if the car is taken to a shop they are going to cut the rotors and turn the drums and give a $200 estimate. The only way to avoid cutting the rotors is to do it yourself.

Can cutting the brake rotors on a 1999 E-250 Ford van and installing new brake pads cause a rupture to the brake line?
No, The brake line will rupture from excessive rust and heavy to moderate braking. If the rubber line running to the caliper is old and dry rotted then that may also blow out. as for cutting rotors and installing pads, that will not affect anything with the brake lines unless the caliper was not suspended correctly during replacement of rotors. the caliper must be held with a piece of wire to keep tension off of the rubber brake line. allowing the caliper to hang from that line can damage it.
