where the rubber part of the meets the metal part isnt where you disconnect it, follow the hard part of the line down to the caliper, there should be 1 bolt
holding it in with a washer on each side of it.

Disconeect it there.

 

the part that holds it the hard line is just a clip, you can pry it off with a screwdriver or w/e, but loosen it before you pull the clip off

 

so the nut where the hard line connects to the line is stripped and stuck good anyone gat a fix for that?

Vise grips to get the stripped fitting loose, and replace the hardline fitting.

 

yesss vise grips. i've done it twice. next time use an actual flare nut wrench and not just a box end.
