Why do you need to remove the hydraulic hose?
In order to remove it, you need to get all the metal pieces off the hose. Typically you can unscrew the barb and the olive will come out with it. Then you slide the large threaded metal piece off and you can pull the bare hose out of the frame.
If the barb won’t unscrew, then you’ll need to cut the hose.
You’ll need to snip one end off and put a new barb/olive/fitting on it. You’re not really supposed to reuse the fittings anyway, so you might want to snip the other end too.
The only way is to cut the cable. If its long enough you can re-use the same cable. If not you have to replace the whole thing.
You do need a new olive + insert to re-attach it. I suggest watching a tutorial before you do.
You need to chop the existing ends off then pull hose, insert hose in new frame, press in new ferrel.
I would leave it with the frame and get a new set up on new frame
You will need, at a minimum
1 new hose
new fittings for each end of both cables.
Bleed kit
Appropriate bleed fluid for your system
As stated already… you will need to cut one end off the hose. But you should cut off both ends of the rear cable and re-use it as the front brake if it is long enough.
Instal new cable for rear brake
Install new fittings for all cable ends (can’t reuse)
Push in all the pistons.
Use the appropriate bleed block without the pads in.
Bleed the brake systems.
Cut the hose, then it pull right through without the ends.
