Need Help - rear Sputhe Positrac install issue
2006 Dyna Street Bob
Sputhe Positrac 9100
Pardon my grubby mitt. What you can see here pinched in my grip is the tail end of the right-side (transmission) stabilizer bracket that screws into the rear isolator. You can see the two holes on the right side that eventually the bolts will pass through, once it all lines up. What's preventing the lining up is the switch that plugs into the banjo bolt on the rear master cylinder. The arm I am holding needs to swing down just a bit, but it cannot because it hits, and below this will attach the stabilizer arm.
Instructions (later on down the list) say to loosen the banjo bolt on the rear brake hose, rotate the brake hose away from the stabilizer.
Can someone break that down for me? Any advice on how to do this without losing brake fluid? I tried rotating the bit where the stop lamp switch attaches, but it seems fixed (one piece) to the banjo bolt that sits notched in the frame. If the banjo bolt sits in a notch in the frame, it's not going to rotate...
Thanks for help.

From the picture it is hard to tell but can you just unplug the elec connector from the switch and end up with enough room to swing it down far enough? If you loosen the banjo bolt you will loose fluid. The brake light switch should unscrew from the line and if you get a rubber plug that fits tight in the hole you can push the plug in after you remove the switch and not loose verry mutch fluid. That is the only ideas I can give as have not personaly done this install before.

I read this post linked here. Looks like I need to fully loosen the banjo bolt and get the switch assembly out of the slot by rotating outboard. Then the switch plug wire will come up more vertically, outside of the stabilizer bracket.
