Rear brake hose

[babyburb]

Why am I having so much trouble disconnecting my back stock brake hose to put my extended hose on? Is there some unseen thing I am not picking up on here? I can't get a good look at it but I can get a good bite on both sides of the brackets, just neither side is budging.

Any idea's?

Plan on rebuilding and replacing the hardlines. I had major PITA issues with mine, ended up replacing the hardlines from the block in the back.

As said before, PB Blaster and patience... Worked for me.

Thats what I'm doing right now with mine. Damn things wouldn't budge.

I could only get mine loose with two pairs of vice grips. Not the preferred tool but it probably was never taken apart for 28 years. I replaced the hard lines and block as well.

2 soakings of WD40 and they popped loose, thanks for the replies guys.

In the future, don't be afraid of using the hot wrench. I routinely break out the propane torch and apply a little heat to brake fittings that have become rusted. Get them good and hot once or twice, let stand for 10 seconds, then wrench it, they always come off.
