Do you happen to have the link or an idea of the video title? only one I've found was RICKAFIX, his video is good but I could use all the information I can get. Trying to get it done Friday afternoon so I can get to jersey Saturday.

Well, it's done, I hacked out the old line, put the new line in through the wheel well, and replaced the rear calipers since the bleeders were basically seized.
It was kind of a fun job, but we worked in the dark from about 8:30PM to 11:45. Removing the line from the ABS block is a PITA and putting the new one on is even worse. Bled the rear brakes and got fluid out of them pretty quickly. Going to test drive in the morning!

So just to give a little advice on how to do this job, if your line is rusted out, I 100% recommend using a hacksaw to chop out the old line so that you can use a 6 point socket on them. (Don't use a 12 point socket!) After removal, it was incredibly easy to put the line in over the fuel tank, if you have a friend who will lay under the truck and guide the line through, you can put the line through in under 5 minutes. Lining up the fitting on the ABS block is a bit of a pain, I recommend re-bending it by hand, you're going to need a tiny line wrench to get in there, it took 10 minutes just to tighten it down because there's only about 3" of room in there.
The fitting above the axle is a 15mm, however at the ABS block it's a 9/16, most videos say 15mm but a 9/16 fit it perfectly and didn't strip the fitting.
I'll take some pictures of the newly installed line when the rain breaks here.
