Essentially the best thing to do is to tackle the flexible brake pipe at the top and not at the caliper. If you undo the caliper end first you'll find that there is not enough "swivel" for it to come out.
If I remember correctly you need a 11mm open ended spanner to undo the joint between flexible pipe and hard brake line - you undo the part on the hard brake line and hold the flexible pipe fast. You might find that people have already visited them with mole grips...
...if so an unbent hard line is still available at the dealer (well it was the last time I checked)...
...you can of course make up your own lines if needed but then you need to double flare them - and then we end up in one of those is it legal not to double flare them conversations (which seems to be different in different parts of the world).
