Default lining up banjo caliper bolts ?

the bolts that hold the line to the calipers have those little neat holes. I assume these must be lined up. Whats the trick to it ? Thanks

Nope, you should have two brass crush washers that sandwich the banjo fitting between the caliper and bolt. Thats all you need!

Should be around 18 to 20 for the rear and 24 to 26 for the front. If anything tighten them down good and check them when you're bleeding the brakes. If there is no fluid building up around the bolt/washers you're fine. If there is give them a good 5 to 10 deg turn and try again.
