Hi Guys,
I am trying to disconnect the break tube from the Calliper end however the nut is not coming loose. I have used WD40 and have now nearly stripped the head :(
Any suggestion?

Gotta have the right attitude. Use vice-grips and it will come off.

This is the tool to prevent damage to the flare nut. 10 mm:

If all else fails it will destroy the nut but whar is known as a "Spring Loaded Speed Wrench" will get them undone because it uses a swivel spring loaded design and the harder something is to undo the tighter it grips.
