11 inch front brakes-underway Reply #15 – June 27, 2006, 12:01:18 AM You might as well whip it out and soak the brake lines with your own piss, probably do a better job than the wd 40.. put some blaster on there! regarding the brake lines... if you heat them up you will have to flush the entire system.. but you should do that anyway... I use a line wrench with a pair of vise grips clamped down on them to prevent the wrench from spreading. Quote Selected
11 inch front brakes-underway Reply #16 – June 27, 2006, 11:46:38 PM Mine were seized also. I used PB Blaster and vise grips. do not use a wrench. You'll strip the nuts for sure. Vise grips are your friend here Quote Selected
11 inch front brakes-underway Reply #17 – June 28, 2006, 12:56:00 AM actually combine the two tools.. place the line wrench on the fitting then clamp the vise grips on the line wrench jaws. This little tip will allow you to remove any fitting..... well most of them! Quote Selected

What fitting did you wind up needing for the hard to soft lines????? Quote Selected
