pre-bent or bend yourself?, a couple of hours should be all it takes.
Master Brake cylinder replaced and lines bled-how long?
It should only take about an hour to replace the brake lines on a 1995 Toyota Corolla. The exact time will depend on your experience with replacing brake lines.
It takes DOT-3 brake fluid.
Typically brake systems in cars and pickups have brake fluid, not air in the lines. There should never be air in your automotive break line

If you cut the housing down to fit the chevelle it will work but to just take and try to put it under the chevelle it's too long.
Loosen brake lines on master cylinder. Dont take off brake lines yet! Get under steering wheel, under the dash and look by the steering column. There will be 4 nuts. Take off the four nuts. Take brake lines off master cylider. Take out brake booster and master cylinder as one unit.

best bet is to take it to a shop unless you know how to work the brakes. you have to take the wheels off, take off the brake calipers (careful not to damage the pads or rotors) and then bleed the brake lines, which is a two person job. you can buy a brake bleeding kit from auto stores but no matter how you do it it will take a long time. one person has to watch the lines and bleed them while the other pumps the brake pedal. once all the bake fluid is out you will need to refill the brake fluid cannister and bleed all the air out of the lines (so they do not fail and cause a crash) which is pretty much the same process as before, one person bleeds, one person pumps. after that take ot for a test drive to make sure everything's ok. safest option is still to take it to a shop... best bet is to take it to a shop unless you know how to work the brakes. you have to take the wheels off, take off the brake calipers (careful not to damage the pads or rotors) and then bleed the brake lines, which is a two person job. you can buy a brake bleeding kit from auto stores but no matter how you do it it will take a long time. one person has to watch the lines and bleed them while the other pumps the brake pedal. once all the bake fluid is out you will need to refill the brake fluid cannister and bleed all the air out of the lines (so they do not fail and cause a crash) which is pretty much the same process as before, one person bleeds, one person pumps. after that take ot for a test drive to make sure everything's ok. safest option is still to take it to a shop...
first try bleeding the lines, as you may have gotten air in the brake lines. second, you could take out the piston out of the brake caliper and put it back together, checking that it works.
Good time to replace all the brake fluid. Remove the brake lines from the Master Cylinder and pump the master cylinder dry. Add fresh brake fluid from an unopened can and bleed the master cylinder. Reinstall the brake lines and then bleed all brake lines until you see clean fluid. Keep adding fluid to the Master Cylinder until you are done.Good time to replace all the brake fluid.

Yes, you can get your brake line repaired at Midas, Car X, Firestone, Goodyear which is really good with fixing brake lines and you can also take your car into the dealership.
