Are you replacing the brake line or the brake hose??
the brake hose is retained by a horseshoe clip that slides on from 1 side, usually very easy to get off and if not they sell them at auto part's store's and a bolt to the caliper with 2 copper washer's
The brake line is held in place by plastic clip's to the frame that have a plastic pin in the center of the clip that need's to be pulled out to get the clip off

its a brake hose
its a steel hose that starts from the left side of the front differential, and runs across the axle and then i come across the horseshoe clip u were talking about, then it turns into a rubber hose the goes into the brake
but we're takin it into a shop and lettin them do it
