The reason that I had to cut it was due to the extra wiring that I have added along the years. The wires were layed over the top of the brake line and I did not want to take a chance of damaging the wires, so I cut the brake line. I am hoping that I can run the new line under all of the wiring and slide it thru the back of the engine. I don't mind bending it if needed, but it sure looks like it will be a pain to get that line in there.
Thanks for the reply.

How hard is it to to install the front-to-back brake line? Any hints for me? There are allot of turns to this line and it goes thru the frame rail in one area.

Thanks again.
