Rear flexi hoses

[fatboychim]

Hi all, it’s been a while since I posted here, I’ve had the old girl garaged for a fair bit of time. I’m getting her back on the road and found a long brake peddle, so upon bleeding I noticed no fluid coming from the rear calipers, I cracked the union at the end of the flexi and could bleed from there so I assume the flexis have collapsed. However I couldn’t for the life of me lay a spanner on the clamp nut that holds the flexi in place.
Any tips on how to get at it?

Thanks Steve, I removed the bleed nipples completely and still next to no fluid pressure. Do you happen to know which video the flexi replacement is on?
I’ll get my head back in there tomorrow and have a fiddle about.
Thanks Andy

Thanks chaps, the vid was helpful, I ended up using a cut down 17mm (can’t remember what job I cut it for) and a hammer handle to apply leverage.
