If you need to cut the metal brake pipe, you will need a decent brake flare tool - Sykes pikavant flaremaster is an excellent one. Also use Kunifer brake pipe, not copper. kunifer/cunifer is a cooper alloy-there’s just about no difference in price, but it is stringer and doesn’t work harden like copper.

Pedal needs to be to the floor, but apart from that perfect advice
I normally find the hexagon on unions at this point wasted through corrosion, and take the opportunity to replace what will be usually a poor condition front to rear pipe.
So my method is chop off the pipe flush with the union, then use a single hex socket to unscrew the union from the flexi
If you don't already own a pipe flaring tool, I can recommend this as to my own choice
