hey guy. hope someone can help me out on my z32 upgrade. i have upgraded my s13 to z32 front and rear and everything is bolted up. now i am trying to change the bmc and the the lines looks rusted in their.. i wd40 and spray with blaster to try to take them out. got one out but the other two wont come out.. i used a line wrench on it but still not working. might have strip one out but still life left on it.. if i keep using the line wrench i am going to strip . my last option is to use the old bmc which is a 7/8 and dont want to use it but i dont see any other way. anyone had this issue that can assist me.

If you already started rounding it off with a line wrench...vice grip.

yup, just make sure teeth are still good on them, clamp it as hard as you can so the teeth would sink into the metal, and then use a hammer or i sometimes use a pipe from my hydro. lift

Then go down and get new fittings and a pipe flair tool at your local auto parts store. Don't reuse the old junk, you will thank yourself later.
