Griso front brake line.

I just did a handle bar switch (see Griso handle bar thread) and am very happy with the out come. One issue I now have is that the new placement of the front brake lever/master cylander puts the front brake line where it connects to the master cylander right on top of the adjustment screw on the top of the right fork. Not a problem but I wanted to drop the front forks 10mm next and now have no room. Does any one know if you can loosen the nut that connects the braided line to the master cylander and rotate the brake line about 180*? Thanks!
 
Here's what I am referring to. If I can loosen the nut and rotate up I will have more clearance.

Well, you can but you may let air in and then you will need to bleed the system. No big deal but it might need bleeding.
I would wrap the fitting in a rag, crack the banjo bolt barely loose, and rotate the fitting. You don't want brake fluid getting out or air getting in.
Good luck.
 
Thanks for the reply. I figured I'd try that but I am going to drain the master first and just bleed the system when done. I'll let you know how it turns out.
 
Well I cracked the banjo bolt and tried to rotate it but it wont budge. It is definately loose enough but it feels like there is a stop of some sort in the way. I will have to drain the master and remove the banjo completely to get a better look. TBC.
