Mark or Robert.

I am not sure who sent in the message concerning the problem removing the 
breakline.  However, here is my two cents worth.

To break loose my brake lines, I used a pair of vice grips.  The particular 
ones are shown at the attached Harbor Freight page.  I used the "V" grips on 
the left.  You can grip the nut firmly, without damaging it.  I would 
recommend sraying on some bolt release on prior to trying to break the nut 
loose.  

I have a Parts car I am tearing dowm and the break line going right rear was 
very tight.  I got the wrench, gripped the nut, and proceeded to dremove the 
fitting.  I twisted the fitting out and the tubing was frozen inside of the 
fitting.  So I twisted the tubing off, without damaging the nut!  

Cool!

Have fun.
