Brakes Frozen brake fitting

[Genaz]

Hi, can't break a fitting loose on the proportioning valve to install longer brake line up to new master cylinder. Last resort is heat. Does anyone know if this will damage the proportioning valve? It's hard to get at and has started to round off, even with line wrenches.

If your replacing it cut it and put a socket on it and hit it with an impact

Heat will damage the seals. Can you cut the line, flare it and splice?

Hi. I could probably splice it at the top but wanted to avoid that double flare operation. But will keep that as an option. Thank you!

Tough and tight spot. But maybe a thin wall socket. Really frustrating with these little issues. But almost done. Thanks!

You can gain a little room by un bolting it from the frame and pulling it out without removing the other lines

Good idea. Thanks! I'll give that a try.
