I have drum brakes on the rear. There's only one rear hydraulic hose. To locate it you trace the hard brake line from front to back. Once you get to the rear, the hard brake line screws in through the frame and on the other side of the frame is the hydraulic hose. It doesn't seem to be anywhere to unscrew at. It looks like its in the frame with a washer. How do I remove.

1 thing you could do is look at new hose to see what's what?
