Brake pipe union nut

[mikeyb1983]

Hey next part of project: get car on road is while rear calipers are away being refurbished and painted was going to replace old flexi hoses but they seem very rusted and didnt want to start this and end up having to replace the hard brake pipe as in my garage would be a nightmare. Does anyone have any good idea for unscrewing this.......????

Also need to wire in fog lamp. Now i was looking to do this into the wiring of the front lamps would you recommend doing this or on their own? need to identify the wires in the plug for front lamps, can anyone help??

Thanks :hm:

Get some pics up of the nut, makes it easier to understand.

Tend to see rear fog lights wired in to their own switch. Would be cool if you can wire them into the fronts switch.

I suppose the easy way would be to tap into the wires behind the front fog lamps then run it to the back, instead of directly behind the switch?

Just clean it up with a wire brush and spray some good quality penetrating oil on it and leave it for a night

You want something better than wd40.

Should come off after that.

Can also buy special ring spanners with a slit cut in them, but that at be a bit excessive for just one job lol

Usually 3/8". Get vice grips on the brake pipe end and work it back and forth
