The fundamental problem is getting the air out of the caliper after removing them.

It would be nice to be able to remove the caliper from the strut (when changing the rotor and hub bearings) and not have to disconnect the hard line. Almost every other car I've worked on has a flex line. Why can't a 911SC have one too?

Once the hard line connection is broken at the strut, air gets in, and it is a royal PITA to get the air out. Bleeding the brakes is one of the more frustrating job, and it is cause mainly by this connection that has to be broken.
Something like this? You just need to order the right ends and length
