Question STB Installation

I just received my STB in the mail today and was goin to install it tomorrow. I looked under the hood and the mounting on the passenger side is blocked by the AC lines. What do you do about that? Just trying to get some idea of how people have done it in the past. Thanks

They are not the most flexable things in the world. The lines are metal and go straight into the compressor. I don't want to break anything.

You can pull them up just enough to clear the brace as you place it. It will work, just lift/pull carefully.

It can be done, as its been done 100 times before. If you're picky, just go buy a tubing bender

Use the open end of the wrench.

yeah...move them...they flex enough

remember to make sure the car is level when you tighten the bolts down...i did it once and the car was on a slight incline on the driver side tire....and 2 miles down the road the window cracked.
