    Steel Brake Line Source

    My brake line from the master cylinder to the ABS module is frozen; used PB Blaster and heat, but after all that my flare wrench still
    rounded the nut. This line has never been removed from the master cylinder.

    Since I foresee the nut being damaged during removal and possibly tweaking the line, I plan to replace both lines but need recommendations where I can source locally (San Francisco Bay Area) a place to make me a new set using the original as a template.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Probably worth it to buy a kit with nuts, some cunifer line, which you can generally bend by hand, and a flare tool. SUR&R was the supplier on most kits that I formerly ordered for work purposes. Steel line is fine, but I would skip it unless you have a specific reason for steel tubing.

    You can also just try another 5 rounds of heat/penetrant, followed by a set of locking pliers, ending with a grinder to make new flats on the nut.
