i own a 1995 ford crown victoria witha 4.6L SOHC engine and i am replacing one of my metal brake lines, ive somehow pretty much got the line out despite all those ridiculously tight clamps and im wondering if i have to get a special tool to bend the line i am buying or can i find a line pre-bent and i think i may have to get a professional to bleed my system because air has gottin into my hydraulic compression unit thingy (HCU) so is there a way around all this?
and is there a shortcut to get to my egr valve also!
lol

i don't know of buting any pre-bent brake lines, but there is a brake line bending tool that you can buy to make the job much easier. Also if you have disconnected the brake lines before the abs sensor controls then air will go into the sensor and make a mess of things. The only alternative to solving your problem is to buy a tool made buy the ford company to remove any air from the sensor before you use it. Good luck.
