I need help with understanding what to do to replace the soft brake hose. I took a part the caliper side. But it is not clear to me what comes apart on the axle side. Besides unscrewing the hard line from the soft side, how does the bracket that secure the hose union comes apart?

I have the new hose, but I don't want to guess how to take it apart. Picture or explanation is greatly appreciated.

I have the FSM and I can see the parts involved in toyodiy.com.

You need to pull the clip that holds the soft line to the bracket. They can be on there fairly snug.
 
Loosen the hard line first (the clip keeps the soft line in the bracket which keeps the soft line from spinning when tightening/loosening the brake lines). Then grab and yank the clip. I recommend using a flare wrench on the hard line as the fitting can be very tight.
