Default Hand bending front hard brake line, Help!

I'm installing a budget boost that came with front brake line extension brackets. I read on the forum that you should bend them by hand. Using my hands I don't think it going so well, and I don't see how they'll reach. What am I doing wrong? I need to drive it tomorrow. Thanks

When they say that they prob mean or should mean. With a small tube bender you can pick up at autozone. 15 bucks or so.

And just make sure it's all tight and such. If it rubs against frame it WILL rub a hole in the line. If for a short time if you can't get the mount mounted you can split a piece of rubber hose and put it where it's rubbing and hold it in place with small hose clamps but this is a temp thing. I wouldn't do it for more than a couple days.

So, what do you think, have I jacked this line up beyond use and need to replace it? I haven't been bending it back and forth. And also, I don't' see how it can reach. Does it get permanently removed from the 4 brake line clip thing?
