Im swapping my brakes for some bigger ones but i need to swap them myself. I have bled brakes before but i havnt delt with the hoses. Whats the best way to remove the flexi hoses from the car side (still connected to caliper) without damaging them as ill need to reuse them.

Can heat then C02 be used to crack any seized lines loose like with seized nuts? Also aided with lots of WD40 or simular?

Thanks

Get proper brake spanners and take your time.
Its realy easy to damage the unions.
