Brake Line Bolt

Err, this sucks, I have bad brake lines in the rear, I try 3 different lubricants and a line wrench of the correct size. Wierd part is, the bolt was like putty it just stripped easilly, I then tried grip pliers, or a pair with teeth, by the way, I wouldn't have used pliers at all but it just stripped with no power. Well, when I pinched the bolt with my plier... it just went through the metal like it was carboard or something.

Any suggestions on getting that bolt out so I can change the line?

This car has been something else... you guys should have also seen the lugnuts on the wheels... I've never seen it. I'll post pics of both.

Re: Brake Line Bolt

Is this the rubber brake line, that connects the metal line on the car, to the rearend?

I have this same problem on my formula, no matter what that bolt WONT budge. Its gotten so bad, that I am just going to replace the entire line, from the prop valve, back.

Good luck !
