can't seem to get brake line off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, i'm finishing up my brake swap and i am trying to disconnect the hard line from the prop valve. i got 4 out of the 6 already disconnected, but i can't seem to break loose the other 2.
i have provided a link showing which 2 line:
http://www.thehondapartsstore....ch=no
line #14 and #11 are the ball busters. now i don't mid replacing line #14 because it's right in the fron and only costs about $5. but line #11 runs to the rear and is about $100.
anybody have any solution to my dilema? how can i go about removing it w/o stripping the fitting? i have the open ended wrench just for brake lines (10mm)
and i have tried the vise grip. i drenched it in wd40 for 2 nights now prior to the removal, and still nothing. i really don't want to spend $100, i'm on a really tight budget.

You could try a little heat around the nut on the prop valve just be careful not to heat up the hard line with direct flame they melt really easy. Oh have some thing on hand in case of fire

hmmm...there has to be another way.
how hard is it to flare the lines up? maybe if i cut the line as close as i can to the prop valve, then reflare it might work?
