Its been a year since I tried bending the line to fit around the blower and then I snapped it. I bought Ernan's A/c a real long time ago and its just now been getting on the hot side with the windows down. Im afraid of breaking this line too, which way, where did, and how did you bend your a/c line? I bought a tool from Advance but its too small and I dont think they have a bigger one. Pics would be . Thanks guys.

umm I have the whole istallation book on PDF format if that helps you @ all. I cut a little part out of the black bracket and i got a friend of mine to hold the line ( where it goes up against the radiator ) and just pulled it with my hands untill I got it to fit.) sorry I don't know if you understand this but I can not explain it better in english. But I have the book on PDF format if you want. It has detailed info on how to bend it and cut out from the bracket. give me your email and Ill mail it to you if you want me to .
