Crimped Rubber Brake Hose

[jeremywatco]

Before I go and grab my cutoff wheel and grind it away.... is there a better way to remove a crimped on rubber brake hose? The hose from the front frame to axle is rubber and crimped onto both fittings. Hose is already cut in half.. just need to remove the fittings so I can proceed.

THanks, Jeremy

Diagonal side cutters "Dikes" work just fine.
Since the hose is already cut, the fittings don't get reused, it is all garbage at this point. Just save the attaching hardware.

Right. If it's already cut, then instead of cutting them further you might as well just start taking the hardware off. The "blocks" at both ends are just bolted. One to the frame and one to the axle housing. The axle housing "bolt" is the vent tube that runs through the center.
This is what a new one looks like: https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/Front_Brake_Hose_Center/Bronco_Brake_Hoses

If your lifted you can use 78/79 Bronco lines they are longer. Keep that in mind if your out in the middle of nowhere needing repair.
