Anyone with advice on getting these out?

[TrentW]

Dropped my subframe and replacing everything needed while it's out. Since one of the cables was snapped I'm replacing both, but can't seem to get these to budge after three days of PB Blaster and vice grips. My searches on three different forums have yielded nothing, so any helpful advice is appreciated.

The way those lines look I'd cut them out and install all new lines and the tee.

I was thinking that too. Just have to get it all done by the 25th when we leave for Oktoberfest.

Lines and tee ordered Jim. Now how do I get the cables out?

The cables are out - those are the lines that carry the cable inside of them. Unless I'm missing thing. What the heck are you wanting to replace in that pic?

Yes, I cut the rest of the cable housing off and left with the ends of the metal fittings to get out so I can install new cables, but they're rusted in the tubes from the body.

cutting wheel. hack it right where the sleeve hits the cable wrap thing.

I have no idea as to how deal with the ebrake problem other than drilling out the fittings.

I'm thinking following both of your recommended ideas in order might just work. :)

Success! Gradually increased drill bit sizes to 7/16" and it was like butta.

you are replacing those brake lines while you are under there too correct?

[TrentW]

Yup.
