I am removing the old rear axle of my 206 but have run into a problem, the rear brake line nut wont open.... the spanner is just rounding the nut off...Any tip and tricks you info'ers would like to share?
Its a 206 1.4 (very basic model, no abs) and has a small box attached to the axle to which regulates the brake fluid to the brakes and none of the nuts for the brake line open

There cheap enough to buy, Halford's sell them if your stuck.
Its annoying when you go to undo one & find someone else has been there before with the wrong spanner & ruined the union
