Tough situation MO, about the only way I've gotten out of it is to either soak the fitting with some good penetrating oil then work it back and forth with a wrench while continuing to hose it down with the penetrating oil, or like you mentioned cut it out and splice around it.

Have you tried fuel line wrenches?
I know you can't do a goddamn thing with a fuel line without it. If it were me, I'd get a small pair of channel lock pliers, **** it up getting it loose and replace the fitting when it goes back together. |

Besides, there's special compression fittings just for brake lines, no sense in trying to make a plumbing fitting work.

Dude don't come at me like that. Especially after your post saying a flaring press couldn't fit under his truck.
Guarandamtee mo could drove that truck to me with one brake lone pinched off to the rear. I wouldn't recommend it on the front though Posted via Mobile Device |

Don't **** with brake lines without the proper tools. Probably the one area where the Risk really isn't worth the reward, and 9 times out of 10 it leads to a massive headache. |

If you cant get it off, say **** it and clip the line. A new brake cylinder is ten bucks. Thats what the brake line is screwing into. You can buy a new length of brake line for 10-15 doll hairs. Rent the flair tool and buy a mini pipe cutter. Easy as pie. The flair tool tells you when to stop. Also do not let the master go dry. I have a feeling you know but you never know who is reading this.
