Have bent these as far as possible with hands, but should I see how much more movement I can get with the pliers....

i would use some metalic raps that we have in the kitchen for BarBQ cooking, just around them, maybe... might be a good idea.

if you have any of thoses "laser" temp gun, you could see how hot they go.

thats close yes, but when you bend them, check where the fitting are , you will need to hold the line so it bend higher than there, it might crush the line a bit a the fitting if not carefull.
