Hard Brake Line Anchor Points/Routing?

[ctyoter]

Hi all,

My latest project is a busted hard brake line on the rear driver side. Removing was as painful as expected for a 2008 and as I was under the car destroying my neck in weird positions, I thought maybe I should replace all the lines. But, eyeballing it, I don't think even if I managed to remove the hard lines snaked under the car, no way I'd get them back in unless I dropped other parts. So my question is: Can the hard lines be run in a more sensible route (maybe along the frame) just so long as they're out of the way and secured and land where they're supposed to? Or, were they put in certain locations for a reason and should go back there (aside from obviously clearance and getting to their destinations)? Anybody try something like this and have some pics? Thanks

There's no reason why you can't run the new brake lines anyway and where you like as long as they are secure and can't rub which could cause a leak and possible accident.
