Pinched Brake Line

I was just under my truck this afternoon and I noticed that one of the hard lines on the rear axle looked smashed and totally pinched off. It is the line that goes from the passenger side drum, to the split, and to the flexable line. I was wondering what options I have on fixing it. Is there a place where I could have a line bent, could i get a universal flexable line to go there, or could I order one? Ill post a picture up later to give you guys an idea where it is.

Thanks

You should be able to get some hardline from napa or carquest you will have to bend it yourself and you might have to get metric to SAE adaper fittings

you can buy a tool and bend your own, the autoparts stores (not the crappy kragen's or pepboys, although they might have them too) carry hardlines... the tool is pretty cheap then you jsut get yourself some of the fittings and bend away

Don't know about the US but up here you can by lengths of line with metric flares already premade. If you can find that just buy the length you need and bend it to fit.

You might also check the stealer, it might not be too much to buy already bent.
