I just taped over the end of the new line, and stuffed it through there. I wasn't about to drop the tank to replace a brake line. The tape keeps the flare nut at the end, and keeps crap out of the line.

And you may want to check out the fitting on the line (back)compared to the original. The original is longer and when i did mine the parts store didn't have them so had to use the original one.
