Hi all, It has been a while since I searched these pages, the appliance gods have been good to me. However, I felt a disturbance in the force, when my oven hinge broke and the door almost fell on my foot. The oven in question is a Jenn-air JGR8855ADS, though I think that might not matter as it relates to my question. I replaced the hinge alright, but ran into a question of utmost importance. During the repair I pulled the oven out of its lair to access the side panel and hinge. The oven has a flexible (yet rigid) metal gas line that I left on as I pulled out the oven as I could not reach it to disconnect it. As I pushed the oven back in I began to wonder if flexible line maybe should not be flexed back and used again. Was I supposed to remove the line without flexing it, maybe from underneath? Is it okay to reuse these things? From the attached pics does the bend look too severe? Any feedback will be appreciated, gas scares me. Cheers, Scuba PS I can't figure out how to attach a photo right now, will add when I can
