Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Realisticaly I think your only real option is going to be to cut the union off. If your metal brake lines are in a condition anything resembeling (a tad rusty) it could be a good oportunity to replace them as well. Actualy I'm fairly sure if you cut through the metal brake line theirs a good chance you'll flatten it. Which means new line anyway.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a line cutter - so can cut it without flattening it, (just need to get hold of the tool to splay the end of the line.... and a new onion The lines are generally in pretty good condition so no point throwing those away just yet.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bugger been replacing my brake lines today - with goodrich braided ones and have managed to round off one of the brass nuts on the brake line union BUGGER! The union is siezed solid so cannot get the old rubber hose off - whats the best way to tackle this - cut the copper line and fit new onion (would need to get the tool to splay the pipe if i do this) or does anyone have a better and more ingenious way of getting the old line off
