Okay guys got myself into another problem somehow or another I busted the rear brake line. Now I have found the leak and ordered a new line from nissan. Should be about 2 weeks till the line comes in, but one thing is holding me back see im having a hell of a time taking the line off at the rear of the car. Ive used wd 40, rust buster, and another cleaner i dont remember the name of it but the dang line doesnt want to come lose. So am asking if anyone has any suggestions as towards taking that line off. Cause its either take it off or take off the whole rear brake line system to fix it. Oh yah and my zx is an 83 I would appreciate any help ty

use a flare wrench and a hamer to tap it loose... dont use an open end wrench or youll end up stripping the nut...

If you've already stripped the nut, use vice grips on it. Make sure it is very secure but also you have to watch it because it will crush if you have the pliers set too tight. Once it is on, press and then release being careful not to let it slip around the nut. If it still wont' come lose then just replace the whole thing.

Well guys the nissan parts store here in Sa ordered the wrong part for me. So had to go to pick and pull and get the whole rear brake line system. It was only 20 bucks for all the metal line hoses, but im gonna try and take off that rear brake tomorrow. Thanks icee for the flare wrench idea took off those brake lines from the car really fast. Now to see if i didnt damage the bolt that bad when i tried to take it off with a regular wrench.
