So I changed half my brake lines yesterday. The other three had fittings that would not let loose. When I say wouldn't let loose, I mean the fitting preferred deforming over breaking free, even with the nifty flare wrenches that I bought for the job.
Suggestions?
Second, I flushed the brakes properly afterwards, following all the suggestions and advice gleaned from years of reading boards, as well as following my own successful procedures used for bleeding. The fluid went from yellow to blue very quickly, even on the rear left wheel (nowhere near a quart). None of them had significant air come out with the exception of the rear left wheel - the one I didn't get either line off of. Before the air came, the fluid coming out was a mixture of the two and the air pocket was huge. BUT - there is still air in the line.
