Well on my 96 honda civic Lx the brake lines broke, so I decided to tackle replacing the rear brake lines and all the fuel lines since those didn't look too good also. I removed all the lines and the gas tank. But now I am having trouble getting the new lines in, I purchased the prebent lines from honda, so I was wondering if anyone else who has tackled this job has any hints or ideas of how to get the new lines in the right spot. The trouble area is at the front where all the lines go passed the crossmember.

you have to remove the subframe to get them in.

thats why they offer the you bend yourself stuff.....I think its slightly easier to bend on your own and hook things up.

Take old off...do a rough bend outside on the driveway, then crawl under and fine tune your bends.

I know a older guy who's been a ASE mechanic for over 40 years that can bend brake lines on a few cars without even seeing the old, lol. He's done so many he just knows where to bend.

Was having trouble with this myself, thanks for the thread

Yea, I figured you needed to drop the cradle. Thanks for the help.
