Default Need Help 92 diamante: Strut + brake line = ???

Hi, I need help..
I have a 92 Mitsu Diamante. I am in the middle of replacing the front struts.
I completely repaired the passenger side with no hitches, but when I got to the driver side, I discovered that the brake line runs through a bracket mounted on the strut, wraps around the strut, then back through the bracket. It is put together in such a way that the line is bolted onto the bracket on each side, where to remove the line from the bracket, I would need to unscrew the actual line, losing brake fluid.
To get the strut off, I can only figure that I need to A. bleed the brakes and undo the line (which I've never done before), or B. I need to hacksaw the bracket and get someone to replace the bracket at a later date.
Have you seen this?? What am I suppose to do??? and Why did mitsubishi design it this way??? It seems pretty dumb. or maybe its me.
I'm posting this under the diamante thread also.. hope thats ok.. I need help!!

I appreciate any help.. frustrated diamante owner
