Re: Wheel Cylinder won't come loose

One last thing on twisting the hard lines.

Always hold the flexible hose while you loosen the flare nut to prevent hard line twisting and damage.

A little penetrant between the flare nut and hard line will also help prevent binding that can also twist the hard line.

If you hold the flare nut and loosen the flexible hose you will twist and damage the seating surface on the hard line. Then the hard line will need to be replaced.

Again good luck, hope this helps.
