help hanging rear beam

[big gra]

im in the middle of changing the rear beam on my nova, at the moment its ready to come off but i cant remove the brake lines, very corroded, tried taking them off at the axle and the wheel end and there just not going, whats the best to do? i was thinking about chopping the pipe, changing the axle and taking it to a garage and let them sort the brake lines out, would let them change the beam but cant afford it!

just chop the pipe, then when re fitting, replace with braided one's :thumb:

well thats what i would do lol

ive tried to undo the rubber hoses aswel but they wont come undone either, think its gonna be a chop n take it to a garage jobby!

If for some reason that doesnt do it, do as Ste said, chop the rubber hose, then replace with stainless items ;)

would replace ith braided hoses but im stuck for money atm,, well ive got it on, chopped the brake pipes on the old beam just before the flexi hose, cant loosen the adjuster for the handbrake so its binding really badly, will let the garage sort that out!

Try browsing a thread I created a while ago with the same problem. The rear brake's flexi hose nuts get proper rusty and hard to remove, but I managed to do 'em in the end.
