Brake line question
I'm getting ready to replace my old rubber brake lines with stainless steel lines. The kit is well marked for front/rear and have the new c-clips and two crush washers. My question concerns the crush washers. Are they for the front or rear? I have not removed my old lines yet to answer the question for myself. I have the fittings soaking in PB-Blaster so I don't break anything. I thought I would come here first before I started so I would have everything in place. If they mount up front, do they go on the caliper end or the hard line end? If they mount on the rear, which end?
Thanks as always for any and all help.

Thanks all. I suspected front at the caliper end but wanted to make sure before I started. This forum always comes through for me. I appreciate the help.
