I could really use some advice on how to remove and install the front crossover brake line on a 1962.

What's the condition of the one in the car? Is the engine in or out?

Engine is in car has been driving. The one on the car is questionable. I had a difficult time removing one side from the distribution block so I don't want to reuse it. The line weaves in and around a lot of parts and seems to be impossible to remove without taking some parts off the car.

You're probably gonna have to take some parts off to get at the line to replace it. If one's in bad shape, I'd recommend getting a pre-bent kit and replacing them all just to be on the safe side, and new brake hoses too.
