Hi all I have a Xantia that has sat for few years when sorting out rear brake pads broke a pipe had new one made then other side failed. Trying to undo the union but it is stuck fast I have oiled it use mole grips ect still no movement I have now cut faulty brake pipe away and tried to undo the 4.5mm feed but that is also stuck. So before I go and get new k connector and feed pipe has anyone got any suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Re: Xantia brake pipe union
A little bit (or Maybe a lot ) of heat should loosen it.. the aluminium should expand faster than the union.
Good luck,
Chris
