Rear axle brake line routing question... #778999 09/08/2011 2:29 AM

When I put the rear axle back on, the brake line seemed to, for lack of better words, be in the way! https://picasaweb.google.com/113636046886857960240/BrakesBearings#5649793327083183074 https://picasaweb.google.com/113636046886857960240/BrakesBearings#5649793346288577906 I'm pretty sure those lines go on the other side of the u-bolts, can someone confirm? I'm not worried about squishing them for now, I'm replacing them all regardless.
