While removing the rear calipers on my 245, the nut holding the metal brake line to the caliper stopped turning independently of the line (even after plenty of PBlaster)- I didn't see any solution and ended up breaking both lines (guess I got impatient too). Does anyone have any tips for unscrewing the lines from the calipers without twisting them? I tried grabbing the line right next to the nut but wasn't successful (pliars were probably a bad idea). I hope the lines are readily available...
