use the tip(flat part not the round part) of the vise grip and tighten that sucka so when it finally does close you feel tired, then and only then you know it's tight enough. then tighten it first to break it loose then spin it off. if that doesn't work then just cut off the line, then use a compression fitting and run a new line, so you don't have to run a complete new line.

make sure u are using the vice grips that arnt straight on each side. They sort of wrap around teh bolt a bit. And pinch it together on teh hardes t setting u possibly can.

Re: (uneek360)
shoulda used a flare nut wrench in the first place and some penetrating oil...
torches also work
but now cut off the line, is it just one of the lines going to the MC? if so, get it off by any means and get a new one form the dealer, they are pretty cheap, pre-bent and all the fittings

Re: (mike1114)
heres what i did so i people search and find this then there is an end i didnt throw the car away!
i cut RIGH behind where the threaded part ends, and the brake lines have just enough leverage that i put a new fitting on and flared it and it fits, ps i stripped the back ones not the master clylinder ones like i origanlly thought
