Well, he is driving a diesel...

But, I agree, buy new lines, period. If the fitting it is rusted really bad, cut the rubber line and while keeping the caliper bolted to the car, use a good pair of vice grips to loosen, or see if you can get a deep 6 point socket over it. I had that happen before as well, but not on the MB. Hose crimp was a tad bigger than the line nut, so I had to use the vice grips.
