The braided brake line on my RV-12 seems very tight where it has to bend a little to connect to the caliper fitting. The brake line is so stiff and wedged in so tight between the trailing edge of the gear leg and the caliper fitting that it seems that it would impede the caliper from moving on the pins. Has anyone else had any problem with this? I have had to replace my worn-down brake shoes after only 82 hours of use. My right brake pad was dragging and always trying to turn right (at about the 70 hour point). Would it cause harm if I tried to put a permanent bend in the brake line just above the fitting that attaches to the caliper to relieve the "wedged-in" effect?
