Removing brake pipes from front subframe

Plodding along with removing the subframe. At the moment i have bled the front brakes and need to disconnect the hoses from the wheel arch that go to the disc calipers. Looks like i should do it near the wheel arch. But i cant get the things off:-

I have already unscrewed a clip from the wheel arch.

    Use a crows foot type socket NOT an open ended spanner to undo the nut while holding the rubber pipe to prevent it from spinning. Then pull the clip out and the rubber hose will be free :)

    Erm what a crows foot type socket. I have the spanners that are closed with teeth inside that only spin one way.
