On A Bender!

I've read Skip Porterfield's article on brake rebuilds and have decided to give it a shot!

Is there any trick to bending the 3\16th inch brake line? I don't like the current routing for the hard line!

Please don't fall over laughing! I'm new to this. But, I sure do admire you folks mechanical knowledge and willness just to go tearing off into some project like a IFS switch. Cutting frames, fabricating this and that. Even if I knew how, that would scare the jeeper's out of me. I'm sweating this brake deal bad enough!

Tubing benders from your favorite parts house, can help a lot. IMHO
