pleased to be telling me sirs how to remove brake line from caliper
wtf? i cant get this 11 mm nuts to break lose without feeling i am going to mangle it.
calipers on the car are frozen, so i am replacing with non frozen ones. need to get this line off to supplement the new ones and replace line in same spot.
any ideas, tech articles dont cover this
i feel like a dumbass, subarus are so much easier to work on.

ok, now i am really f'ed. every other nut that i tried to loosen, moving my way up the line
hoping i could splice in somewhere is stripped.
new caliper closest to the piston, stripped
end of metal brake line to rubber line, stripped on car
there is now now way i could splice in any part of the line. this has to be the twilight zone. i cant belive this is happneing to me

sounds bad. if your going to be adding new lines, can you cut the attached line and i think
craftsman sells a tool that will grip a stripped bolt. might want to check the sears website.
