Removing the rear brake flexi hose #1

Have a set of flare wrenches and the front union and flexi lock nut came undone 9/16 AF but used 14 mm. The problem is the rear of the flexi will not budge in the 3 way union. Read all should be 9/16 but had to use 15 mm, the hex not that rusty so does not look to be an imperial size.
Is there any way to remove the flexi hose without undoing the other pipes, cutting the hose which would allow removal if can be got off the bracket.
The 3 way unions on sale appear to be brass but mine is not brass coloured but grey so could be steel. It has the copper washer. The pipes look fairly new, the right short one is copper but the left one over the axle is grey so assume plated steel. Trying to minimise the work involved.

Melvyn, I had one that was being a pain so I just cut the hose off at the fitting and used a deep socket to remove it from the T fitting, but I was replacing the hose anyway.
