Longer brake hoses

Please post a pic of this issue.

Your right. Hoses are long enough. Just can't get them to fit because they hit the control arm nut. I would have to bend it a lot to clear the arm. What I noticed was that the old hoses have been swapped from one side to the other so they run away from the control arm but are pretty closed to the spring.
