Id like to rotate my controls downward a bit, but the front brake banjo is in the way. What are the consequences of loosening the bolt just enough to twist the banjo forward allowing more room to rotate down the levers?

Will i need to bleed the brake? Replace the sealing washers? Both? Neither?

Only loosen it so it needs to be tapped with a screw driver handle to move it ... then keep pressure on the lever and crank it back tight. Yea wrap a rag under and soak up the fluid, it will eat paint.
Cool.

I've also done it with no problems. Didn't leak brake fluid and didn't need bled. I just loosened the bolt enough to twist the banjo while there was still a little bit of resistance on it.
