Default Bending small AC line
Hey guys I'm in the process of installing a FMIC with JBR pipes. I'm at the point where I need to bend the AC line near the dipstick to make room for the hotpipe. I cannot bend this thing for the life of me! JBR's instructions show to use a cresent wrench but that doesn't seem to do the trick for me and Im just scratching the hell out of it.

Guys that have done this for your FMIC install, how did you get this bent? Any tips please

Gross, I guess I have never really paid attention to his kit. Do you really have to bend the AC line? Or is this a pretty common gen 1 thing with most fmic?

Ya its just how the hotpipe is routed in his kit similar to the PG kit. I can get the pipe to squeeze in there but the ac line is pushing pretty hard on it
