Rebuilt my left one last year, put between two pieces of aluminum in vice, remove internal circlip, remove roll pins, take apart, replace oring, reassemble.

My brake line swivel has seen better days. Someone previously beat the crap out of it and it is no longer serviceable or repairable. I found a replacement part which is a Phoenix C6-4-6. Cost about $10 plus shipping. Using FAR 43.13 to install. Far better replacement part than the original. Early serial number Skymasters had no brake swivels. I don't know the history on the swivel but I assume it was an improvement done by Service Bulletin in the early days. Then incorporated into later production airplane.

Does that fitting rotate in any direction like the original fitting?

It appears that the fitting is rigid when you tighten it up, if so that is entirely different than the ones in the P models
