MG Buffs,

I'm writing for a friend who's rebuilding his clutch master cylinder.  He's 
having difficulty loosening the hydraulic line from the master cylinder and 
was wondering:

Is Liquid Wrench likely to help loosen the nut?

Is the nut a standard thread?  For example, is he correct in turning the nut 
counter-clockwise to loosen it?

Would it be unwise to heat the master cylinder or the nut in order to loosen 
it?

He doesn't like the tight space where he's working, and he wants to just cut 
the hydraulic line so he can get the MC out of the car and work on his 
bench; would he have any trouble replacing the hydraulic line?  He's cheap 
and thinks he can just re-flare the remaining bit of hydraulic line rather 
than buying a new line--anyone have luck doing this?

Thanks for any help or insight you can provide!  I'm not on this mailing 
list, so please copy any replies directly to me at rkriggs@ingr.com.
