Arrow Cant Get SS brakelines off shocks

hey guys,

Im trying to get the SS brakelines off my front shocks. For some reason the bracket wont let the SS lines come out the bracket. I didnt want to disconnect them, b/c then i have to bleed the lines, which i would rather wait for my brakes to go in to do that.

Anyone has any tricks in getting the SS lines off the shocks?

Thanks

You need to force the line torwards the front of the car. It is designed so that it slides out the front, and then the steel line slides out of the bracket. The part of the brake line that is in the picture right now is too large to slide out. Hope this helps
