I am assembling the parts needed to repair my front driver's side brake system, wheel bearings and sway bar. I sourced a replacement 16P used caliper, and bought the short length of steel brake line that goes between the caliper and the brake hose from Victoria British. I also have the pistons from the old caliper (extracted with compressed air), and a new seal kit, also from VB.
This brake line has fitments on each end, and is straight.
I need to bend it into a U shape, but know that if I'm not careful I will crush the pipe. Do I need a special tool, or can I improvise a tool? And what operational tips do you have for me?
Thanks!
