Hi guys,
Upgrading to braided HEL lines. When undoing the flared nut between the copper line and the old rubber hoses, the copper line is twisting with it. Don't want to carry on as I will break them.
Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

I've had no problems what so ever with my repairs, even when I've pressure bleed the system at 18psi. If your local to Surrey / sussex I can lend you a hand, I've got over 24 ft of line left and also the flare tool AND fittings
