Thanks TH, a lot of heat in this case, but the brake line nut is now loose.

I was going to replace the caliper this PM but realized that I also need to replace the brake cable (along with shoes and springs), so that should come first. I really don't want to take the rotors off too many times.

The T27 torx screw holding the brake line to the body is too close to the side rail, I cannot get a folding Torx driver against it. Nor can I get a 1/4 ratchet and bit on the end of the rusted on screw. I guess I will just hacksaw it off and then scrounge around and look for a bolt to replace it with.
