I just bent them over.
Quadcam told me the TN does the same thing (which it does) so I tried it. Unfortunately I didn't take into account my larger radiator which pushed the flex line out and caused it to rub on the A/C belt = hole. So that was a $130 + my time fix. Then in replacing it I bent the line too far and got a hole in the line off my condenser which I was able to get welded for $60 + a lot more time to pull the radiator, condenser, etc. Lesson: double check your work before you go drive…
So you can do it but be careful not to bend anything too far and double check the lines when you are done.

LOL....yeah, those line do bend easily... I was just to paranoid to start bending / tweaking them. I am getting a new core support from my fenderbender and will cut that hole in there...
I heard of a place that will replace the lines with rubber tubing for like 100.00 that I was gonna try, I didnt know if thats what you did or not.
It seems those lines are very easy to break.

It is funny because a couple weeks ago I was hanging out over there and Kevin was talking about a G with an engine cover cut to show the SSV and I wondered if it was yours.
