Stupid Brake Line...

I filed down two flats which enabled my to get a 9 mm spanner onto the brake line nut. Still no good.

Got myself a little butane blowtorch at lunch today, and gave it a try on the distribution block (that the brake line nut is screwed in to). Still no good. I held it on for ~ 15 seconds. Might try for longer as the distribution block is bigger than a nut. Urgh!

The good news is the tie rod ends are off the centre link. I attached labels with cable ties to ensure we don't get the ends mixed up. So the steering/suspension is all ready to bolt up now.
