Yeah the original lines are still on it.
These came in Wednesday http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WIL-220-8338 My 6pot Wilwoods fit my CCW wheels though I am going to need a 1/4in spacer. So I'm going to mount them up. Though I decided to tackle taking apart the 17yo brakes hose until a weekend I'm not autocrossing. (instead of 2 days before) |

PB won't do much.
Absolute must - use line wrenches not standard wrenches. A little heat on the connection won't hurt anything. When loosening the line to frame tube connection the position of the wrenches must be where you can squeeze the 2 wrenches together with 2 hands, this will help prevent rounding off the fitting heads. |

What Bill said. I ran into some issues with seized up threads when I did my SS lines.
It isn't pretty. I also ran into issues with the lines on Bastets 87... so bad, I had to cut the line and flare it. |

normally, I would agree... but hammers and hoses don't seem to function well together.

I would soak them in PB blast, definitely use line wrenches as stated.. and I would heat the fittings up before even trying to turn them. I bought one of these tools and I use it just about every day...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YO_snrzYrs Works awesome on lines like this! there is a used one of the 1st generation of this tool on e-bay right now for about $300 |

seriously cool... but also pretty expensive... but for what you do, it has to be invaluable. And no need to worry about being out of gas!

I saw that tool Rick has in action....it's awesome. Out of my price range for a toy, but Rick uses it in a professional manner.

Disconnect the hose and remove the retaining clip the rotate the hose around the hard line. A vise grip on the hard line makes sure the flats on the nut don't get rounded off.
