Can I bend an Aluminum AC pipe with a Pipe Bender without it cracking?

Asked by Crakar Oct 01, 2020 at 11:22 PM about the 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali Crew Cab SB 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I am installing a Dual 220 Amp Alternaror to my 2015 GMC HD2500 Denali (6.6 ltr Duramax). This bolts to the side of the AC Compressor. An Aluminum pipe coming from the top of the AC Compressor appears it will obstruct the Alt instal. Can I safely bend this Aluminum pipe clear with a Pipe Bender without cracking the pipe? Is this pipe malleable enough to bend?

Thanks Mr Arne, you have saved me some grief. Appreciate it very much. Cheers, Craig
