Quick help please!!! Only 2 hours to finish the job and I'm stuck!
« on: 14 August 2011, 15:37 »
Hi,

I am swapping mk4 calipers onto my mk2 gti. Have got to the stage where I need to disconnect the hardline brake line from the brake hose that connects to the calipers as I am fitting the conversion hoses. I cant seem to disconnect the hard line from the hose, I am rounding off the 11mm bolt and think I'm about to snap the copper pipe! Is there a trick to this?

Thanks!

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Using the right tools. Try pipe spanners, they are the only thing to use mate. Normal spanners will round them off.
