They do make a tool that makes the orb fledge in steel line, but they are very expensive and I cannot replicate that tight of a bend right passed the connection.

I have used silver solder and a sleeve made from tubing that will slip fit the lines to extend some steel hydraulic lines on several of my antique farm tractors when I could not buy replacements or make replacements due to tight bends. might be an option for you. The sleeves could also be brazed to the tubing.
