I am replacing the steel brake line that runs from the master cylinder to the rear brakes. The PO had it routed wrong. The tunnel has tabs to hold the line all the way down it on the drivers side. My question is the routing up by the pedal assembly. Does the line go behind the pedals? If it does it seems like I will have to bend it at a 90 degree to the left then 90 to go to the master cyclinder. I am affraid I will just pinch the line closed. Or does it run in front of the pedals and bend at a 45 degree left then straighten out with a 45 and go to the master cyclinder?
