Default Replacing Passenger Brake Line

I've got a 98 with ABS and I'm replacing my passenger side brake line with a stainless steel prefab.. I've got the old line out and there's no going back. Anyone have any tips for the best way to snake the new line in?

It wasn't easy but I got it done. I was successful when starting from the middle and slowly working the right side (toward drivers side) in behind everything it needed to be. Then I worked on the left side (from facing, towards passenger).

Do any of these bends look too bad? It was unavoidable, had to shape it a little here and there to work it around all the pipes, wires and such.

Looks good to me. I'm impressed you were able to work that line in there. I replaced mine with Ni-Copp and made the bends as I went along. That was hard enough lol.
