Upon redoing the rear breakes (new calipers, new rotors) I decided to change out the rubber hoses also.

The hard brake lines have a bit of rust on them, I thougt nothing of it. Coated both sides in PB, and tried to take the rubber hoses off. Here's where the problems start: The hard brake line (right at the connection) snapped when I tried to brake the connections apart.


So now I've got my can on jack stands (just as it has been for the past month) and no way of re-doing the hard lines (Just because I dont know how) and no way to get it to a shop.

any suggestions?
