Im trying to remove the rear brake line out of my caliper so that I can replace the caliper but I can't get the nut that holds the line in off and I don't want to round it. I used break-away, I heated it up, and I am using a flare nut wrench. Any ideas?

It may be a N/A but the paint is shiny ain't it?

Can you fit a little bit of a cheater pipe over it? Make sure it's still mounted to the car before you try torquing it.

Your doing all the right stuff, although I'd be real careful with the heat...not a great idea with brake fluid in a sealed space. I lot of us have had very good results with PB Blaster as a rust penetrator. (available at Auto Zone) I would soak it and let it sit overnight. Beyond that about all you can do is replace the line along with the caliper.
