[s-cars] Brake Question

[Douglas Fifield]

OK, followup question.

When I look at the braided steel line that will be going in, the
threaded ends do not appear to swivel.  In otherwords, I could thread
the steel line into the caliper, but then the end that attaches to the
solid brake line would have to be connected by turning the fitting
attached to the solid line.  Make sense?

And that connection appears to be in a clip of some kind.  Do I need
to detach it from the clip and make the connection and then re clip
it?  I looked in the Bentley but did not find anything there on this
operation.
