Titus, looks like you're going to lose that thumbnail. Ha ha. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I finally have a fingernail back on my second finger ... after waiting 7 months for it to come back!
There should be an axle on its way to you soon.
PS: the first time I bent my own brake lines, I used a shapely Coke bottle. Then I bought a tubing bender for the next job. Set me back a whole $5.

yep hit it with the pic end of the body hammer! then the next day at work i hit it with the ballpien hammer!! it felt nice!
Ive always just bent em by hand, they always turn out great, i have access to all kinds of benders, just they never seem to bend stuff sharp enough for me. but i know they work good.
