German cars tend to have sheet metal clips holding the hose in place then the steel line screws into it , you have the loosen the line then carefully remove the sheet metal clip to get it all apart .
Pic would help here .
I wish I could be more specific but am not sure what you're working on @ there should be two rear brakes hoses as the suspension is independent .

I've never cut/repaired a brake line before. I don't know what sizes these things are, where to get parts and tools, never patched a brake line before. I'm guessing if I'm lucky I can get the bolt out of the brake hose by mangling it beyond recognition with vice grips, but I wanted to have tools etc on hand to fix it right then. Maybe I can cut off the flare, slip on a new bolt, and re-flare the line? Anyone know where I can get the stuff to do this with?
