Does anyone know of a source of pre-cut and bent brake lines? The hard steel ones. Im trying to decide if i twisted it too far when taking the wheel cylinder off.

And or pricing the lines out to replace them on both sides of the axle anyway.
 
Just get a couple lengths of hard line from any parts store and put the bends in them yourself. Super cheap.
 
that would be an option if I had the bending tool, and the flaring tool... :)
 
Buying the tools you need will still be cheaper then pre-bent lines.
 
Inline Tube might have what you need. I was also looking for a full prebent line kit for my ranger and it looks like they don't make them for my year range.

But really if it's just the lines on your rear axle, that's easy, all you need is some pre cut lengths of tube from the parts store. You can do the bends by hand, just go easy, and don't try to bend to much too fast. I've fit over 100' of brake line in different cars over the past year or so and have not used a tube bender for those projects. If you do need a flare tool autozone or orielly or whatever will have them in their loan a tool program.
 
I've often used my thumb (lengthwise) or my wrist, right where it meets the palm (in line with the forearm). All you have to do is not kink it and it'll be fine. Make the bends a little larger if need be.
 
I have always just bent them by hand as well. You can usually get a length that is close enough that no cutting or flaring needed. You can buy lengths of brake line at any autoparts store that is pre flared with flare nuts on them.
