One trick you can use is to unscrew the wheel cylinder from the backplate, bring the hose through and unscrew the wheel cylinder from the hose, instead of the hose from the cylinder. Make sense?

you will have to undo the big nut where the hose goes into the subframe as well as the solid brake line, or take the brake part (caliper/slave cylinder) off the hub.
