I got my front to rear stainless steel brake lines today. There is a sticker on the line that says keep this bend. The sticker is on the bend where they folded it into the box. I still have the orignal and can match it up but is there a trick or an easy way to get the bend out.

The safest way is to use a tubing bender so that you will not kink it. Maybe your local parts store might have a loaner you can use.

If the manufacturer says to not straighten a bend, then they're probably pretty sure it will kink if you try to. Tubing gets work-hardened pretty easily. I'd call and ask them before you put an unremovable wave in it.
