Brake pipe & flares
#3
It's pretty common for the nuts to get stuck to the brake pipe when they haven't ever or for a while been undone, also when people replace brake pipes with the copper pipe the nuts often corded to each other i think due to the copper pipe. When i change brake pipes now i try to put a little bit of copper slip on the pipe where the nut will go. As for the trying to stop the nut twisting on the pipe when you undo it usually a decent soak with some penetrating fluid and work the nut back and forth can sometime free if off.

As for the brake pipe we just get stuff from local motor factors at work and it only are the £10 mark i think and i've never had too much issue with it.

Pretty sure the ends on the brake pipe are all males on 306s.

As for the tool to use i've got one of these and rate it very highly. Its easy to use and can be used on or off the car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Franklin-Tools...Swd4tUKW7o
