[diesel_mercedes] Brake line / hose connector screwed up

 

OK what do I do now? The rear brake hose on my W123 won't come loose from the brake line. The bolt head is shot and it's stuck so tight I can't get it apart even with vice grips. I've never cut/repaired a brake line before. I don't know what sizes these things are, where to get parts and tools, never patched a brake line before. I'm guessing if I'm lucky I can get the bolt out of the brake hose by mangling it beyond recognition with vice grips, but I wanted to have tools etc on hand to fix it right then. Maybe I can cut off the flare, slip on a new bolt, and re-flare the line? Anyone know where I can get the stuff to do this with?

Thanks,

Jim
