Re: Brake line replacement?
Do the coils as gremlin96 suggested. If you don't have a flashlight you can use a beer bottle, stair picket, etc., ... anything that's round and rigid.
If you don't have a pipe bending tool you can use a small diameter spring to bend up to 90 degrees. Where ever you buy the brake line probably has various diameter springs around 6" long, just find one with 3/16" or 1/4" inside diameter, or whatever diameter you brake line is. Slide the spring onto the tube before bending. This will keep the tube from collapsing when bending. Just make sure you do the flares after bending or else you won't be able to remove your spring. You don't need the spring for the coil as the tube won't collapse due to the large diameter.
