one of the unions mounted on the beam is a complete fucker to get the spanner on at all without dropping the beam off the car slightly.

if you can get some heat to the unions without melting/burning anything, that wil help no end.
One of those little hobby blowtorches which you put disposable lighters in would be good for this, must get me another one of those.

yep, don't go anywhere near them without the right brake pipe spanners, they will just round off soon as you touch them.
