Bending the lines is not the problem, it is the double flairs on the
ends of the lines.  If these flairs are not done correctly they can
leak or blow out when the breaks are applied.  Personally, I don't
want to trust my life to flares that I have done!  It may be
possible to buy straight sections of brake line fron the dealer
that can be bent to fit correctly.  Bending the lines isn't
difficult, just practice on what remains of your old lines before
working with your new lines.

Peace,
Pat
