Default Stainless Brake Line Problem

I got a set of NSX calipers and stainless steel lines, however, I cannot get the stock rubber lines off of the hard lines. I've tried PB blaster, heating them, everything! They are almost bonded to the stock rubber lines fittings by corrosion. Is it possible to cut the hard line just above the fitting and put a new threaded fitting on?

Someone help me out who's had this problem before!

if you cut the line, wouldn't it be a pain to flare the hard line in its awkward position?

I imagine it definitely would be, but I don't know if I have any other options.

Has anyone had to do this, is it even possible?

Its just a flared fitting. You'd need a tube flaring tool and the right size fitting. I think finding the fitting would be the hardest part.

anyone know where I can find the flared fitting I'd need? Also, where's a good place to get the flaring tool?

Thanks.

I believe harbor freight sells the tool. You can also try autozone and see if they have it as well.

Also, look more into the flaring, because i believe honda's use a double flare or something like that.
