Default brake problem.. yet again..

well, i've ran into another problem with changing out my brakes, calipers, master cylinder, and lines.

i've got the caliper off, and i'm in the middle of changing the line from the actual brake line to the caliper. it's pretty rusty. i've sprayed pb blaster and every think i can think of on it. used wire brush to clean off the rust and grime. i tried to take it off and it just won't budge no matter how hard i pull. i'm using line wrenches. i taped it with a hammer to kinda brake it away from each other. and yet still nothing.

i'm about to get to the point to where i'm going to cut the line and use a 6 point socket. but then again, that is the last resort.

has anybody had the same problem? i need ideas, and i don't want to do something i'll regret later.

Vice grips, I have to break them all the time with vice grips. Be prepared to change the hard line though because when they get that bad then sometimes the line will seize and twist with the fitting.
