Default Uhhh... what do I do now?

So I just finished putting my rebuilt cylinder head on (thank you roman944) and I was trying to put the new heater hoses on and I didn't realize how easily bendable the tubes on the firewall are and I accidentally bent the F@$% out of one. So what do I do now? Can it be replaced easily? Or should I try and bend it back?

Use a pair of needle nose pliers insert them shut and then spread the hole. Heater core tubing is a little soft. You should be able to get it round enough to not leak.

yeah just carefully bend it back out- if you bend it i have a set of those- go from heater core to the firewall- sitting here im not going to use.
