Help needed on a Bathroom Sink Flexi hose

[whoimi]

Hi

On my bathroom sink today the hot water pipe got damaged (Had guests over and lets just say they abused it quite a bit )

Anyway the issue is i need to purchase a new tap connector or hose or whatever they call it

Anyway the Connector which connects direct to the Tap is like this

and the connector that connects directly to the actual copper pipe to the main water flow looks like this

You will need a pair of spanners to remove the old flexible hose ferrule from the copper pipe,

Thank you sir
now the thing is because this is connected to the hot water there is some wires connected to it and some metal thing holding it saying do not remove
so to actually unscrew the old connectors is proving to be difficult

the only way to have a proper crack at it would be to actually remove the screw see image below

is this safe to do?

Thats equipotential bonding used to keep continuity in the earthing system.

You can safely remove the connection, just make sure you put it back afterwards.
