I bet, doing it on a running Jeep was definitely a chore, there are some
places where you have to put some extra bend, or slightly unbend
temporarilly to get the line past the power steering gear box (passenger
side line) and you have to start it just right, starting with getting it
past the gear box so the other half is free to twist and spin the whole
line, then the other half tucks in easy. that and the part that runs up
over the frame rail at the rear wheel required a little extra bending.
