Good luck with the brakes. You'll need a tube bender to prevent wall collapse. Parts store probably will have one you can borrow or rent. If the tee is on a welded bracket, just bend the brake lines down to the rear of the axle (for protection) and use hose clamps to hold them in place. You might even think of using flex hoses to go from the backing plate to the lines. Could make it easier to replace all that stuff. Lots of brake hoses in the parts books.
