Brake hoses stuck but good!
I got a set of steel braided brake hoses for SPF from the Olthoffs and in attempting to remove the first (RR)of the old ones, hard as I tried, the dang hose won't budge from the Wilwood caliper. I tried the RF and same thing. A wrench friend said he had encountered a few Wilwoods on custom Excursions where the fittings were epoxied onto the caliper. Anybody experience this? Is putting a torch to it the only solution?
TIA
