I bought pre bent brake lines for my 2004 Suburban, does anyone know if it will be easier to route the passenger side front brake line if I remove the front bumper and grille?

On my son’s 2002 Silverado, I was able to get the passenger front routed relatively easy by feeding in from the passenger wheel well.

Please forgive me...

When someone gets new brake lines, but they don't get prebent:

TYF "Get bent!"

I'll go back to my cave now.
If you get a prebent brake line, it's a straight brake line then, isn't it? lol

Pre BENT \__/. I personally like the challenge of bending my own brake lines and flaring them but to each hos own.

I know what it really means, to me it always seemed like prebent would be before bending. The definition of "pre" is before or prior to. So before bending. Like preheating the oven, no you're heating the oven. Whatever, just dumb things I think of lol.

Ahhh i see! It almost got stuck in brain that way, that was a close one. Lol. The “pre” in my head is before or prior to installation. So you would go into the parts store and get “post” bent brake lines? Haha:happy160:
