9mm and 11mm Flare nut wrenches in hand and a good dose of WD40 lube...
two lines went fine..no problem but despite using proper wrench have managed to strip the flange off one of the nuts.
I renewed my discs and hoses last year, also renewed the piston seals in the calipers. Removing the old hoses was the hardest job though, because of the UK weather. What I did with mine was, take a center punch and punch a good center on the nut. Then put the center punch in and angle it slightly away from the way it unscrews. Now keeping pressure on the punch strike it with a hammer. I have shifted a lot of nuts and bolts this way.
Sometimes you cannot do this because of were it is located. In these instances I have used a Dremel with a small cutting disc to do it. Obviously great care would be needed if you use this method.
