<VV> New Vair Guy on the block (Brake line removal)

[J R Read_HML]

Since he was going to cut the line, why even use a line wrench in this 
instance?

But, for NON-destructive situations, a very good tip.  Thanks.

Later, JR

  I can't believe you guys failed to tell him about a proven method
that Smitty told me about many Corvairs ago...Use vice grips on the
line wrench - yes clamp down on the wrench real good. Can't be used
in some places, but every time I could get it on, it removed it. Use
of some Kroil or PB Blaster is also a good idea.
