Fuel line bending tool
The dimensions on my fuel line are such that if I want to disconnect the line from the carb I have to take the carb off, otherwise the line butts up against the thermostat housing.
I just need about 1/2 inch so I am going to reshape the line, but wondered which was the best tool to use.
Anyone have a favourite.
Thanks, Peter

That one works well, but if the flare is there and the bend needs to be close to the flare it may not be the best choice.
Here's one
And another
I used these 2 when doing all my brake lines.
Never used the plier type below
