How to Bend Steel Brake Lines
- 1). Measure the distance from the end of an installed brake line to the nearest obstruction with a tape measure.
- 2). Hook the end of the tape measure on one end of the steel brake line. Place a mark at the length required for the bend with a permanent marker.
- 3). Open the articulated bender to align the zero marks of the top and bottom jaws of the articulated tubing bender. Slide the marked length of steel brake tubing in the articulated tubing bender.
- 4). Squeeze the handles of the articulated bender until the zero mark on the top jaw of the articulated bender aligns with the degree mark required for your bend. For example, stop bending when the zero mark aligns with the 90 degree mark if you require a 90-degree bend.
- 5). Push the handles of the articulated tubing bender to align the zero marks of the top and bottom jaws. Slide the bent steel brake line tubing from the tubing bender.
