Depends on whether your brake pipes are original or not.

When I replaced the rear brake pipes I had a lot of trouble freeing the brake pipes from the hoses, seemed to be welded together. Eventually cut the brake pipe and used a regular socket (failed) and then Irwins on the nipple to get them apart.

I've got a pit, but if you intend doing the same job on ramps I'd leave it to your local garage.

Good luck
