I just got new front brake lines for the front of my '91 4X4, but the driver side line seems unusually close to the coil...to the point of slightly rubbing on the coil. It's got the little foam protector on it, but if the line gets pinched too badly, that ain't gonna do a whole lot of good. I'm considering bending out the tab that the line goes into next to the coil...any other options that anyone else can think of? I don't want to get a new line, and I don't want to bend the line itself (I'm afraid I might crack the line).
 






you should be able to bend the line w/o any problems. Just be careful and go slow. It sound s like you only need to bend it by a fraction of an inch so you should be fine.
