I'd like to remove my front brake pipes, I can see where their connected on the offside inner wing, for some reason I'm worried, is it just a case of undoing the two nuts and remove and a reversal on re installing?
I've just answered the question !???!!! I think ?????
Any guidance would be appreciated. Alun

Yes they simply connect as you say.
What may happen is the fitting they screw onto may rotate in the wing. If it starts to turn don't continue turning as it will chew up the pipe in the footwell. To get it undone you will need a spanner on the fitting in the footwell.
