[s-cars] Brake Question

[Douglas Fifield]

Hedz -

I need to replace rear brake hoses on a 95.5 S6 Avant (aka The White
Whale).  Needless to say, the current hoses are firmly seated to their
companion solid lines and I don't want to round the nuts.  I have
applied penetrating oil but want to ask the following question.

Are these connections normally threaded - counter clockwise to loosen?
 Any BTDT or advice out there?

D.
