compactbrake

I ordered new front brake pipes for my car, and thought they would come pre-bent into the correct shape but they don't! Am I ok just bending them by hand to copy the old ones as they seem quite flexible or will this damage the new ones? Thanks

1997 E36 316i Compact-Brake hose replacement (FIXED) I'm having trouble replacing the front brake hoses. Where the flexis connect to the rigid pipe the nuts seem very tight and won't release. I have used brake spanner and now onto grips but no luck. My question is; I don't want to apply too...
