if u have it loose from the caliper... to remove it from the hard line u have to un screw the hard line from it... u dont have to hold the brake hose with a wrench because its in a keyed slot that acts like a wrench to keep it from rotating.... then when u have the line taken loose pull the little clip off< yea its a homo clip that u have to pull part of it up the peck it off< u will know what im talking about when u see it....

then it will pull out
