Being bent/crimped that much is only part of your problem. You will/may find out when you change the rear tire and can't pump up the rear brake again after compressing the caliper piston. You need to get it straighter using one of the methods above, or a more appropriate length line. I aint saying your brake will not work, just saying it will have a very hard time pumping back up. And for full disclosure; Mine has been crimped like that for 1.5yrs. lol
