I've got one front wheel hub and brake assembly removed. I disconnected the
brake hose from the back side of the wheel hub. Now I want to remove the
brake line from the connection up on the frame. I was able to disconnect
the metal brake line from the connection at the frame but I can't get the
brake hose off. I can get a wrench on the hose side but the back side is
round and it just spins.

How can I remove the brake line?

Or as I found out today--a hammer and vise grips to turn it if it is rust
welded togther like mine was

Also discovered that one front brake line never worked
It was clogged solid

Is clogged and not working better than leaking all the time? <G>
