    Any ideas to take off the brake line when it's stripped or any write up changing the actual hard brake line looked for it and couldn't find it
    Thanks

    Vice grips if it's already FUBAR.

    Worst case scenario you will need to get yourself a flare kit, some new brake line. Find a good spot to couple, cut the old out and install new line with a coupling
    Not a difficult job at all really.

      I had to do this for the rear. BMW sells the new brake line already flared with the nuts on it. Not particularly expensive, but it's not pre-bent, so you'll need a pipe bending tool (I had bought this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003IX130W).

      Try and remove the hard line without bending it so you can use the old hard line to help mold the new hard line.
