you can buy a spacer so it doesnt go as far when you tighten the hose

So when you say lever you mean the whole assembley, as in the resi?

I am guessing you are changing the front master, and you are leaving the hose attached to the caliper?

disconnect the hose from the caliper, screw it into the master, then reinstal the banjo on the caliper. Then Bleed.

Sorry for stating the obvious, but you did fit new washers?

Take the whole asembly off and wind that onto the hose then nip the nut up!

sorry i havnt replied..i havnt had the internet for a few days. i have bought a new master cylinder and i havnt bought new washers....i am going to buy a new washer though to see if that works. I have tried all the other ways including screwing the hose into the master cylinder and then tightening the banjo in but the hose still twists....although i will get a washer and report back.
