If there is any way you can re-route that line, do it, or have someone
do it. In fact, if its already been ovalized, I'd replace it while
re-routing.

The brakes are the most important thing on a vehicle, in many people's
opinions, and any stress on the line could lead to premature failure,
loss of system pressure, i.e. NO BRAKES
