So let's start that I not a mechanic and this is my first time doing this after watching a few YouTube videos to get the nerves up lol but I'm having a slight problem how do I remove the parking brake lines I see I can remove one by simply loosing the bolt but the other one looks tricky if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Are you putting different rear end in vehicle?

You may or may not need to separate there, as @Blackcar was alluding to. If you need to, use a small hose clamp and use it to compress the spread out fingers you show in the second pic. That allows you to push back thru the bracket hole. Then, when you need to reinstall it, you just push back thru the same hole till the fingers pop out again and hold in place.
