Bending hard lines for a S14 300zx brake swap?

[midnight zenki]

I have gathered all the parts for my 3Z brake swap and was wondering if there is a prefered way to bend the S14 hard lines to meet up with the 3Z master cylinder? My car is 95 w/o ABS and I just don't want to screw myself by snapping a hard line in the process of putting in the M/C. Any one whos been through this with their S14 please drop some knowledge for 3Z virgin, thanks. :bowdown:

They sell a tool at like Kragen/Autozone etc you can use to bend the lines.

Otherwise, use some pliers or some shit with a rag over the lines, and be real careful. :P

i bent itmyself
just bend nice and slow
heat up thelinea bit if you want too

but i didit by hand
i have the tool too but i was lazy, hand bending is faster :p

worked a-ok
no problems! dont pinch the line

IF you do
new line from dealer isonly about 20 dollars or so

yeah i did it myself too. its really easy. id suggest go by feel since u can feel the lines over bending in your hands. but u would be suprised how strong and bendable the lines are. just know the path u wanna take with thelines before u bend them u dont want to bend one way then the other way and snap a line.
