How to connect brake line to caliper

Took the calipers off a few weeks ago to paint them.
Put em back on I can't remember how the brake line attaches back to the caliper.
Tried it about the only way it fits, but they leak air & fluid badly.

Can someone describe it or have some pics?

Help...

Thanks!

also an FYI, you can put the lines on the calipers backwards, so make sure the line is in the correct position and the flat side of the brass hose end is against the caliper. make sure you inspect them real good for leads when your done. and,you did know that those brass washers are one time use only right? if not, you have to replace them. they WILL leak if you try to reuse them.
