when i did mine, i took it off at the caliper(brake line), then theres a clip that holds the brake line in place on the strut, pull that clip off then just feed it thru the hole, then wind the capiper back on until you need to put it back on so you dont loose fluid...

Or if you dont want to have to bleed the brakes again then take that clip off, move the hose out a bit and cut it with some side cutters (if yours are up to it) and bend it out of the way
