Default changing front brake hoses *URGENT*

What's the size of the nut that holds the front brake hose to the brake pipe?

Also, is it ok to heat it up to get the nut off, and are there any general do's and don'ts to get it off?


I wandered over to the brakes section and asked the same, but the only thing in there is tumble weed.

Yep, that's exactly what I did in the end

It came off with a bit of violence, mole grips, wd40 and swearing
