Brake Line Replacement on '87 240 wagon 200 1987

Greetings fellow brickboarders.

I need your help.

I have an '87 240 DL wagon. I need to replace the calipers but having a damn tough time getting the brake lines unfrozen from calipers. I've used about a can of PB Blaster and still won't budge. A friend lent his hand and he started to strip the bolts even with those flare end wrenches. So now I'm pretty sure I'll have to replace the lines, at least on the front drivers side. Any advice?

If I do need to replace the lines how difficult is this to do? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Anything to look pout for, anything NOT to do, etc.

New calipers and rotors are waiting if I could just get the damn bolts loose. Caliper bolts I could get loose.

Also, 2 brake lines per wheel from junction to caliper on front and only one per wheel at back? Are there center brake lines connecting front to rear as well?

If need any clarification let me know.

Thanks to all and a good day.

John

Centerville, Ohio
