Take the wheel off and joined to the caliper is your brake hose.

Getting it off at the caliper won't be the problem, getting it off at the brake hose will be a pain.

Go and get a brake spanner which is a spanner just with a bit of the metal missing so you can get it around rather than using mold grips or a normal spanner.

They turn real easy so be careful and make sure you don't make it worse than you need to.

Which lines have you got?

The williams ones or the 19 16v ones?

Willy ones are the same length as valver ones iirc, so you want the longer 19 16v ones :)

if its stiff then work the joint back and forth slowly until its off - worse thing is to have to get new brake pipes made up
