Fitting Extended Brakes Hoses.

(1/2) > >>

BigA:
OK, finally decided it was about time if fitted the extended brake hoses today. Decided to start with the back, but first hitch, the old ones will just not undo and i am concerned that if i apply too much pressure, the mounting for the bottom end is going to twist too far/break.

Any suggestions for the best way to get these undone, i guess i can soak in WD40 but not sure if this is going to make any difference. I ma sure someone out there has a nice trick or two for this.

Didn't even try the front, i guess these will be just as bad.

I had the same problem with mine a few weeks ago.
I used plenty of plus gas.
I had to cut the pipe on a few of them and put a ring spanner over unions.
slightly tighten them before you start to undo them seemed to help.

Thats not a bad idea, cutting them, knowing my luck though, they still wouldn't budge. I tried tightening first to see if i could just get them to move, but no joy, i didn't want to try too hard though
