Those pictures are pretty good. It does show the orientation of the clips as I was looking for. Thank you

One trick I figured out when building brake lines is to prototype the line with a coat hanger. Easy to bend and correct, then once it looks perfect, bend the brake line to match and you're set.

I know this is an old thread but hoping someone responds......how in the heck do you get a wrench on the bottom nut to remove the steel line from the brass distribution block? I've gone in through the wheel well and pretty sure I broke it lose, but space is so tight I can't get enough turns to unthread it. Did you have to remove something or use a different tool other than basic 1/2 wrench?

If you are “hoping someone responds” start a new thread rather than tacking a question onto an old one.
