Brake line question before Slider install (1 Viewer)

[TimTX]

WKOR sliders came in...will be doing install this weekend.

There is that breakline that hugs the frame where the Slider U-Bolt will go. Any ideas on bending that brake line around the U-Bolt? I'm not scared, but a little nervous not to crack that line while I bend it. It looks like it will need 3 slight bends, 1) away from frame, 2) bend it back towards frame, and 3) run it back along frame. No rust, Texas truck...any tricks or things I could do to make smooth bends?

TIA

No need to bend the brake lines, you can pop them out of their clips and slide the u-bolt in-between it and the frame.

Won't the brake line rattle against the U-Bolt, and also rub against the metal brake line? Or an I pop it back in the clip once the U-Bolt is in place?

I put a piece of fuel line around the brake line at the touch point.
