That looks like a very sharp bend going into the stainless brake hose. Did it get kinked there?Installed my rear extended brake lines. Noticed that my rear links caught my passenger side hard line and thankfully did not break it. Spent some time messing with the line to get it into a safer location and bent back. Added a zip tie to keep it close to the frame.
I figured it was time to remove the links and cut the bolts shorter so this shouldn’t happen again. Thankful i saved the rear for later now. I am probably going to look for a new hard line now.

looking good dude.I forgot to post that I did this a week or so ago, but I decided I wanted to switch to different sized tires/ATs and switched to a new set.

We have bending and flaring tools if you need to borrow some! Worked well on our stainless lines, granted stainless was a pita!Yes the bolts coming out of my rear links were too long and must have snagged the brake line when I went to bald mountain. It isn’t leaking and still works. I replaced the lower lines and bled them afterwards.
I think I am still going to order a new hard line to replace it. I have considered buying the flaring tool and bending the line and repairing it.
For now I just bent it into a safer location and cut the bolts off both of the rear sway links so it can’t happen again.
This is definitely something to look out for when installing new things. I learned my lesson the hard way. But thankful I wasn’t left without brakes on the trail.
