I need advice as well as to know what my options are for replacing FR main brake line, the one that I think goes straight to the abs. Thanks

You may need to replace it in sections with connectors. I hate that particular solution, but there may be no other way. Here is a diagram of the layout of the lines...

blow torch is the easiest option for the little 8 or 10mm ends of the brake lines, you have to put a piece of metal behind the line so you dont burn anything

I did not replace the line. I just used vicegrips and channel locks and of course a torch and even though the brake line fitting is rounded off I only have to mess with it at least one more time(BBK). Thanks everybody ;)
