Bending fuel injector lines

[RV10Rob]

There's only about 1/2" clearance between my #2 injector line and the top of my cowl. There's less clearance between the baffle aluminum and the cowl in that area, and I don't see any evidence that either the baffle or injector line is hitting the cowl, but would still feel better with more clearance on the injector line.

I have 100 hours on the airplane now--would be permissible to bend the injector line now, or is it work hardened?

Found some good info here:

Apparently 5/8" is the minimum bend radius for these lines. I'm guessing since the SB says bent lines can be straightened, it's probably okay to add a little more bend.
