Removing the front lines to add braided ones. Help asap plz

[BoomOne]

Hey guys. How do you remove the orig brake lines up front?? I have taken the bit off the caliper but the other end is proving to be a beast to get off. Doesit unscrew or do you just pull it out. Found a guide that says u just pull it out, but surly there is a thread inside it??

With a spanner.

They're threaded, and can be a b**ch! Brake line spanners are handy.

Easier to do it with the caliper on the car.

The caliper is still on the car, just took the wheel off, and it's not the end on the caliper that's a prob, it's the other end by the green line. Thanks dude

Ohhh! In that case, eff knows.

Damn, got them off but the new braided lines just don't fit over the lip of the thread it goes onto

i had this problem as well the end of the union nut had flanged out over the solid line. i had to replace the passenger side line as it was that bad.
