I went to put new front brake hoses on my 95 850...the hose would not disconnect from the rigid line. I put an 11mm on the small nut, a 14mm on the brake hose...used all my strength (after it soaked for 12 hours in penetrating fluid ), it wouldn't budge. I fear rounding the 11mm or just plain snapping the rigid line. I have read to use heat!!! but I fear what that would do to the fluid in the line, or if it would catch fire, melt stuff....Help me...
