replacing leaky brakeline

Fellers,

I got a new line from the dealer but the top 10 mm nut from the hard line won't budge. It is the nut above the wheel that ties into the flexible line which leads to the caliper. I didn't want to break anything so i may have to go to the dealer. Yes, i sprayed it numerous times with WD40. I may have them pull the codes for my intermittent ABS light coming on to see which sensor is giving me trouble. Any other advice on the brakeline?

Tdog, Assuming you're using the correct flare nut wrench on that baby? WD40 isn't that effective for loosening stuff. Try soaking some Liquid Wrench or PBlaster(sp?) on it for a while.

I'm using just a normal 10 mm wrench, the flare nut wrench would help. I'll have to get the other fluids and give that a try.

thanks
