I am having trouble removing the rear brake line bolts that connects to the brake hose. The fronts came off without issue, the rears are giving me trouble. The passenger side is already starting to strip. I doused them in PB blaster but still nothing.

Any tips?

Try cutting the bolt head off whith a whiz wheel, and easy out the shank, and replace the bolts. Or maybe use a torch? If you can do it without damaging the line. IDK if this will help or not. Worth a shot I guess.

Thanks, but I'm trying to avoid having to cut the brake line. Wondering if there is a way to break that thing loose without stripping it. I wish GM didn't use metal with the strength of play-doh.

Maybe Im misunderstanding what you're describing. Definitely dont need to cut the line. For some reason I thought you meant the brscket thst secures the lines to the chassis underneath the car Anywho, can you post a pic of what you're describing and I could possibly be of more help to you

use vice grips on the hard line nut side, that is how i got all my brake lines off.
