hey guys as the title says how to remove the calipers ive been trying to remove the 2 19mm nuts of the caliper to remove it and fit the tarox kit on though they wont budge at all... im also wondering how to remove the brake line, ive checked the how to on changing your discs and pads though couldnt see where i can change the lines.. please any help would be appreciated as the car is on stands at the moment until i get it sorted..

thanks in advance
 
This is from memory but pretty sure it's about right. Brake lines at the top of the arch should just spanner off, think there is also a black flat clip that holds it in place up there, just force that off. The other end should also be another spanner job. Spray some wd40, release agent on the two caliper nuts and let it soak in for a bit. If you don't have a torque gun or breaker bar then use a spanner and try and extend it with a piece of metal etc to give you that extra leverage. Failing that use a spanner and lump hammer and whilst holding the spanner in place smack the end of the spanner/socket until you can work them free. Also heat the nuts up if you can as that should help get them off.
 
Plenty of WD40 (or the aussie equiv) will help with those bolts..
