Tried my hand out at bending hard brake line last night for the first time. It was a piece of cake. The "deluxe" tube bender pliers worked really well as to not kink the line. I just mimicked the bends in the old line I cut out, and it turned out really well! I got the hard line installed and bolted up to the flexible tube feeding the caliper. Now I just need that replacement EBTCM to arrive so I can finish the job.
