I am so paranoid about my mini, all the rust patches on it and the engine that I repainted and stripped is all dirty now, I can't appreciate it without worrying about it and all the problems it has :(

Fuel, spark & compression. Check them in that order and you cant go wrong.

Will I most likely snap my brake pipe union when trying to undo it from the backplate? Or does the nut rotate freely on the metal tube?

depends how corroded it is really, get some good penetritive spray and soak it for a while before you try
