The pipes should be held in the bracket with a flat spring clip like the fronts iirc.

Not all brake fluids are Tom and even still, it won't catch fire unless you just have it in a container and your burning that.

Don't get too much heat on them pipes otherwise they will soften and just twist. They can be a bastard but will go eventually. I found on mine, soaking in penetrating spray for a few days then rocking back and forth on the spanner eventually worked the spray in and loosened it up. Took me a good 15-20 mins a side but got there in the end!
