Default Is my Passenger side Brake line supposed to look like this?

Yes I know its dirty. But thats from the Crank pulley coming off from a loose bolt. Itll be cleaned up.

But what concerned me was this brake line. Is it supposed to have that bend in it? This is my first time taking my Vette Apart. So Im not familiar with it. Its the passenger side Front brake line.

I'm gonna guess no. It looks to be almost crushed shut. I'm not an expert but it doesn't look right to me

it would be the same size and have smooth bends if it was supposed to be like that, the crush is no good.

Figured...Time to swap it out! But if I swap it im gonna have to bleed em. Havent done that yet which is good since the fluid is probably older then Id like. But will I have to get a Machine to bleed the ABS?

Thanks guys
