How do I put the brake line clip back on the front strut?

I just took my front suspension apart for the first time today and the only snag I had was with the brake line clip. I got it off with a flathead screwdriver and hammer but I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get it back on securely.

What do I need to do? I need a very detailed respone.

You need to put it on the same way it came off, by aligning the clip on the tab (on the strut) and positioning the retaining groove of the metal collar (around the brake line) so that the clip forks into either side of the groove.

Once you have the clip in position, gently tap the flat 90 degree bent end of the clip with a hammer until it is even with the edge of the tab on the strut & -securely seated into the retaining groove of the metal collar (just as you found it before you removed it).
