[TR] Rear Flex Hose TR3A

As I recall, you undo the flare nut that holds the hard line to the fitting
on the front of the soft line, then remove the hex nut that clamps the soft
line fitting to the frame and pull the fitting out of the tab.  That frees
up the soft line to turn, so you can unscrew it from the 3-way without
taking the 3 way loose or disturbing the other hard lines.

Use two wrenches (one to keep the fitting from turning), so you don't twist
either hard or soft lines.  You'll probably want an assortment of "flare
nut" wrenches, which grip all 6 corners but have a slot so they can slide
over the lines.
