rusted brake line bolts...
whats the best way to loosen the nuts that hold the rubber lines to the steel lines?
i used a 10mm along with wd-40 and ended up rounding one nut off.

Buy some PB Blaster and let it soak for a while. WD40 doesn't work very well as a penetrant. WD40 = Water Displacement formula 40. PB Blaster is a penetrant specifically designed for situations like this. Since you rounded off a bolt, you'll need to use a vice grip. I suggest you get the appropriate brake line tool for future use so you don't round off any more nuts.

I'm into the same issues with mine right now, I had to drill the head off with a drill bit then you can get in there with the WD40. You'll have to let it soak for a bit then try vise grips. I had to use a propane torch to heat mine but it's kinda scary around the gas lines.
