I've tried taking the rear braek pipe off the rear caliper because the caliper needs changing. As i was un-doing the break pipe nut the pipe seemed to be turning aswell as if it was seized inside the nut Huh? i don't think that this should happen, someone tell me if i'm wrong!!! I may have to order a new pipe OR hose, what is the difference between break hose or pipe, because i ain't got a clue??????? Huh?
any suggestions please, thaks

No its not supposed to happen.
Take it off and take it down a local garage or spares shop, they will make you a new one for a few quid.
A brake pipe is metal

a hose is flexiable and normaly made of rubber, though you can get uprated stainless steel ones, that i can supply.

Apply liberal amount of plus gas or similar to the nut first. It's common, but not right.

If you don't know that, don't start messing with your brakes.
Take it to someone who does.
