Are your calipers rear or front mounted ???? Bit hard to tell in your avatar, if rear mount the hard lines should run the same as stock ???
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

The best pic I could find at short notice ---- there is block mounted behind the steering box which is fed by the master, then theres one to each front and one to the diff.

I didn't worry about how the stock lines went when I did mine, as long as it's neat and works :thumbsup: .
