Brake hose doesn't clear??

Ok so I got my spindles from summit racing and springs installed today ,only prob is with the relocation of the calipers now the hard line part of the brake hose hits the upper control arm,how are you guys getting around this? I considered just grinding the caliper and rotating the hose .pics to come.

Just carefully bend it down and inward til it clears anything that can damage the hose lock to lock.

I use a Crescent wrench to tweak them. Open the wrench till it slides over the line and gently bend till it clears.
