Everything would come off to be inspected or replaced. It is a 16 year old brake system and my insurance company and I are not going to pay for someone's life time care to save an RV owner money. It will get fixed correctly, which is what I determine to be wrong after a thorough inspection, or not at all. It is not cheap to remove these items for inspection but it is the only way to do the job correctly.
