Icon7 Brake Hardline Replacement - 5th gen

The hardline underneath the drivers seat on my 97 LX (Rear drums - no ABS) failed and emptied most of the brake fluid out of the car. I plan on getting stainless steel lines for all four corners but as far as the hardlines go, do they sell pre-bent lines with fittings? I don't have any experience with brake line replacement or whatnot so the easier the better! If not, is it relatively easy to bend all the tubing myself or will I be needing to drop things like the fuel take to get to some of it?

Thanks!

So it looks like #9 and #12 are the two lines I need. Ouch....not cheap

Are the fuel lines made of the same material as the brake lines? If so, I am guessing they are probably about rusted out as well..... ugh

Easiest is to purchase the replacement lines, they will fit properly.
If you want to try to save yourself money, purchase some NiCopp line, a bender, and flare tool. Most steel line is a PITA to flare without a hydraulic flare tool.

well bummer. I gotta take some time tonight or tomorrow and get the lines off.... hopefully it isn't too hard.
Another guy suggested taking the hard lines to someone and have them copy them. We shall see.
