I'm trying to strip my car and want to know how to pull the 5 lug off without removing the brake line. Any help would be grateful.

Huh? You mean the hub? Make sure you loosen the 32 or 36 mm nut holding it on before taking the rotors/calipers off. Have someone hold the brake pedal in. On the front, the brake line clips to the strut. In the back it's held down with a bracket. Take off te caliper and prop it on something. I used old milk crates. The line won't reach very far. I'm not sure I get what you are asking, though.

Sorry about the fuzziness. I meant, how do I remove the hub off of the axles? Also, is it necessary to disconnect the brake line when doing this or can I just pull the caliper off?

pull the hub. you might have to let some penetrating lube go through the splines to let it give a little but should come right off after you've taken the bolts out for the rears and the nuts for both front and back.
