Seized Goodridge Hose to front caliper

[russ-vdub]

So came round to selling a few parts and the fooking bastard is completely seized and starting to round off which gives me a major problem. Can't get a socket on as the other end is a 14mm compared to the caliper end which is 13mm (ASSHOLE DESIGN), sprayed bare amounts of Penetrating oil around the joint but did nothing. Heated up the caliper but still nothing!!

Anyone got any more ideas? Other wise i'm guna have to sell the calipers with the hoses and lose a fair bit of cash as the hose is stuffed. Already messed someone around cos i thought it'd undone but it had actually just slipped (was in low light)

Thanks in advance

Filed a flat, put it in a vice and spun the caliper round

Happy days!

Had exactly the same problem with mine a while back! Why can't people just put a light smear of copper grease on the threads??

Yeh man exactly what I thought, but saying that its more to do with over tightening more then anything, torque setting people!
