Good point, Pat. If you aren't careful you can easily kink the hard line.
Some years ago I pick up a small tubing bender which has a 1 to 1/4 radius
and is sized almost perfectly for brake/clutch hard line. Believe it or not,
I dug it out of a 99 cent bargain table at a hardware store. It's invaluable
and they shouldn't be to hard to find either at an auto supply or hardware
store.
