brake line fitting
Busted the line at the fitting on the rear passenger side today. I can't get the fitting off, it seems really soft on both ends. Box wrench and socket wanted to round the edges with the slightest amount of torque. Special tool of tricks?

Orielly didn't know the diameter of.the line either. My chiltons didn't have specs that I seen. I assumed its 3/16.

Have you tried heating the fitting with a torch?

Hit it with a wire brush, soak with PB blaster, let it sit for 30 min, wipe it clean and try again. If not, Vice grips, drill, and tap & die set may be your only option here

i'm assuming this is drum brake and the line is alloy. I'd use reg pliers and I know it'll get buggered up, but I doubt you have a choice. If it comes off, great -- you can likely get it back together with pliers and it doesn't take a lot of torque to cinch those.

But, if not...

If you can replace the line at the coupling easy enough, just cut it and crimp the end shut so a minimal amount of fluid is lost. you're gonna need to bleed that thoroughly after you're finished, either way. you'll need a new slave unit, they are cheap enough.

I don't know of any way to do this. The flair fitting is done by machine and it has to be precise.

There is a wrench just for brake line fittings so the edges won't strip. Ask auto parts store
