Help - Brake lines

[Lunner]

Came to fit my braided brake lines today, and the unions on the fronts are that tight no amount of plus gas wil shift them infact i've partia;lly rounded the nut off

Now i seem to remember i can chop the line, and re-fit new unions to the end of the copper pipe, but i don't have access to a brake line flairing tool, so i need abodge i can do without the tool

cant be done lunner...pressure too high..

 

[Lunner]

So i guess i need to find the proper flairing tool?

 

[clarkiev6]

try tapping the 10mm union with a hammer..then use mole grips ...they usually come undone.

 

[Lunner]

Already tried that and mole grips, to no avail, normal rubber hoses are ont eh fronts still, will chop the unions off and stick new ones on, now that i ahve transport to go and buy the flairing tool

Soak with WD40 and leave for 30mins...? It worked on my caliper-bolts!

Soaked wiht Plus gas whihc is about 100x better then WD-40, and left it for a good half hour (usually works within seconds)
