replacing long brake line to rear (Page 1/1)

I have a 1986 SE and need to replace the long hard brake line that goes to the right rear junction block. I bought the Fiero Store complete kit.
What is the preferred way to install this line seeing as it is so long?
Thanks.

not hard mostly and no real method but...

To get out/in rubber bushing under MC often easier to remove tire well then the bushing.

Remove well is easy but has front brake line attach to it and plastic often breaks. Just used zip ties only tighten enough to support the line.
If plastic break just mounting ears the drill a small hole and zip tie that to the wall mounts.

Thanks for the info. I am working in a car port with a wooden floor and not much room so just looking for easiest way to get this brake line in without kinking it.
I have not removed rest of this brake line yet but it seems to be one piece?

Finally got back to working on the car. Fitting this long brake line up into the front was quite a struggle.
I also replaced the short pipe on the right rear going to the flex brake hose as it was also rusty.
