Can you not spin the old flexi pipes off the metal pipe unions (cut the flexi's if need be) then you may be able to get the unions loose on the metal pipes after the pressure is off. You will be unlikely to buy the hard pipes 'off the shelf' as they are usually made up as needed off a roll (and 850's don't usually need them as the are copper nickel anyway and don't rust !). The best thing do as a last resort would be to cut off the union, then replace with a new one and re-flare the pipe (there will usually be enough metal pipe to still reach) but you will need the kit and know-how to do this.
