Technical Failed MOT - front flexi hose

[pete_h]

my HGt has failed on the front hoses, i have obtained the parts and tried earlier to replace the drivers side hose ,however the damn nut at the body end of the hose has rounded causing the brake pipe to twist as the nut is slipping!!

Personally i cant see anything wrong with the hose, pretty frustrating!!

Any ideas?

tried a smallish set of mole grips?

ye, a set of mole grips will get the nut undone, but if its the metal brake pipe youe twisted you will probarbly have to replace that aswell, good luck
