Hi all,
I had a quick question about my brake pipes... when I fitted my Brembo's the other weekend, I realised that when I went to fit the braided hose to the hard pipe attached to the inner wheel arch on the o/s, that the nut on the end of the hard pipe wouldn't turn. This made it hard to fit the hose but thankfully, the braided hose nut at the caliper end could turn independent of the hose, meaning that I could fit it without the hose getting all twisted as I tightened it up (if you follow my drift).
The hoses that I got with the Brembo's are second hand and a little bit worn, so I wanted to fit my Goodridge hoses but to do this, I'm going to have to free the nut at the end of the hard pipe (as each end of the pipe is fixed and can't rotate)... Soooo, my question is, how hard is it to free brake pipe nuts once they've seized and what's the best way of going about it? What I don't want to do is try freeing the nut and end up sheering the pipe.
Any advice welcome guys!
