HI Sugar Bear!!! Great to hear from you. I found out from another member saying:You can remove the caliper to give you more slack. Screw the hose securely into the caliper and then start the fitting onto the hard brake pipe on the car (don't forget the securing clip) Refit the caliper, set the hose position and then finally tighten the fitting at the chassis end (hard brake pipe). The SLS hose (in red) fittings can sometimes be tricky to remove without damage to the hard pipe section.

The red circle in the picture is the hydraulic shock line. I will not mess with that hydraulic shock line while trying to connect the brake hose to the brake line and the caliper.
