T, I went straight to the garage and applied heat - after I moved the ABS wire out of the way. Undercoating burns! After rounding one of the nut sides and applying a lot more heat, I did manage to move the nut just a little. And then brake fluid started dribbling out, already?

I guess it is a good time to order some replacement lines.

I really don't like using the burner, especially when things get red hot like the hanger for the brake line. It is a little disconcerting when you turn off the flame to find undercoating burning.

I really hope that the new line is easy to install and doesn't need to be overtightened. I don't like to play gorilla with car parts.

Thanks,
Klaus
