Disconnecting rear brake lines at the front
#12
My piece of advice, Smile

Do not remove the lines until you are ready to fit the new ones. sometimes it is best done 1 at a time, if you have done it a few times, then ignore me Smile

you do not need a pipe bender, as the pipe does bend quite easily, but it is all too easy to kink. So if you are uncomfortable doing it by hand, then by all means use one Smile . Remember no sharp bends, be gentle, and take your time. Its not a race Smile

When you are ready to do a line, you can (as i have done) make the first connection (usually at the back and work forward) trace about 1ft, then cut the old pipe off when your happy with the shape, then do another foot, so forth and so on Smile . this way they will look OEM, be neat and tidy. Did this to my Frontera, which was much easier, as i didnt need jacks to work comfortably under that thing. god i miss the beasty now Sad . ...

good luck, and as always if any questions or help needed, post away and i am sure one of these fine guys will answer you 10 times better than i could lol.
