You need a flexi hose to bring the brake lines onto the trailing arms.
If the hard line to the flexi is buggered(most are)I would suggest that you slice the rotten flexi as close to it's ferrule as possible,then use a 14mm socket to release it whilst holding the hard line with a brake pipe spanner.
When this fails to work
slice the front/rear at a convienient place,and replace the lot from that point rearwards....
