Default EG disk brake conversion problem

I am doing a rear disk brake conversion on my 93 EG. I got everything off, all the bolts I mean, now the suspension is just being held on by the brake line. I have tried so hard to loosen that stupid thing but no matter what it won't budge... It started to strip the nut a lil... Is there a way I could do this? What if I were to heat it? Would it loosen? PS I already tried wd 40, and still nothing

What kind of wrench are u using??? The prob with using heat is that u are gonna to kill the rubber brake line. If u are changing them for SS line then it wont be a prob. First try using a Line wrench and see if that can get it off.

If the line wrench doesn't work try a pair of vice grips to bite the nut.

I got it loose! :yay: My brother went to autozone and got this tool, that will loosen even stripped screws... The more you turn it the more it tightens on the nut, and it won't strip it
