I’m running into this same problem. The og hose was kinked and worn bad so I want to replace it with a stock hose but the fitting angle is still the same. Should I try to bend the tube portion of the fitting to clear the drop spindle? It doesn’t seem like much but what’s everyone doing to get by this issue?
Update:
I searched all over and found the fix to this problem...
1. Remove the caliper from the spindle
2. Install the new brake hose to the caliper and reinstall
3. Grab a pry tool or a large screwdriver and slowly bend the hose fitting out enough to clear the spindle.
4. Bleed the brakes
