Cut the flexi that you are replacing and unscrew it from the stationary nut. Use a proper brake line spanner to hold the nut. Then use some heat on the nut to free it from the metal pipe if required.
Check the bleed nipples are free and don't shear off……..
Poss also do the other side, it may be on its way out too.

I only remove the lines from the caliper if I have to, and usually I have never had to take the caliper off…. Just be mindful of the dripping fluid and your pads, if your pads are good, then you want to remove the caliper and the pads at least.

If the nut has welded itself to the metal solid line, you could screw flexi into the solid line and then with the caliper removed screw caliper into flexi making sure the flexi is not twisted when the calper is put back. It will all make sense when you have it all in bits and you are on your knees praying to the VW sky fairy.
