Looks good, sounds like you didn't find it too bad.
It sounds like you may have partly unbent the line to remove for flaring and then re-bent on re-install? If so, be careful of how many times you bend in the same place. Two factors to consider: work-hardening may make your life harder by making the line more difficult to bend where it has already been bent a couple of times and excessive bend cycles will weaken almost any material. That said, 3 bends (2 in, 1 out) probably won't have large effects.
