Help with brake line install

Well I tried to do a brake line install a while back and failed. The SubieTV install said to use a adjustable wrench to loosen the front line......big mistake and should have used a flare wrench. It rounded and I can't get the freaking thing off. I don't want to break anything so how can I fix this? Am I forced to cut and reflare the line or what? Any help is appreciated.

 

Use a pair of vice grip pliers. That is what I had to use the break the lines on my car.

 

I did and it kept wanting to bend the lines......scared I'm gonna break it.

 

put a flame to it to get it hot then if you HAVE TO use vice grips.

 

Also, you will want to hold the other end of the line. I had a pair of vise grips on both sides of the line to get mine done.

 

^^^ do that, then go pick up a flare nut wrench to do the others safely

 

PB blaster. 2x vice grips.

Then hope it breaks loose.

 

I will try that Sunday. Thanks guys.

 

Truth

 

Lots of PB and vice grips with careful torquing did the trick. All 4 SS brake lines are now installed!

THanks guys.

 

Good stuff! How do you like them?

 

Love them. Pedal feel is more crisp and the smuchyness is gone.
