Some ideas:
If you're replacing the soft lines anyway, just cut them so you can use a 6-point socket on that side.
PB Blaster is decent, but there are better 'industrial-grade' lubes out there. If you can track down AeroKroil, that will help. You can also try a 50:50 mixture of ATF and acetone.
As others have said, a torch will also help.
The chain autoparts retailers carry generic steel brake lines for "European" cars. It's the same size as the MB OEM. I bought mine from Advance Auto Parts for under $10. Just be careful and patient when bending them yourself, so you avoid kinking the lines.
