Ok i have an impreza sport with a shot rear wheel bearing, so iv gone and sourced turbo 2000 rear hub assemblys inc hand cables, dics caliprs etc, iv gone to fit them today only to try and undo the rear brake pipe ready for my braided hoses, The problem i have is when iv gone to undo the connector as pictured below it just turns which turns the metal brake pipe with it, so im affraid to turn it and break the pipe totally as its my everyday car to get to work etc, any suggestions would help

If we are talking about the part on the right of the picture which i assume is all metal is to use some heat from a blow torch as heat will normally free a seized joint, if the joint is the one on the left and heat cannot be used due to braided hoses then i would use penetrating spray and leave as long as possible before attempting to crack the joint.

Hope you manage to get it done.
