If they don't come off then you'll need to bend new lines. It's not difficult and more often than not you can bend them simply using your hands.

If the dealer can't get them, you'll have to bend them.

Be sure to use the coated brake line.

They can be purchased thru any of the big box 4wd outfits like 4WPW,Morris,4WD Hardware and the like.

Yes, you'll have to bend your own or find them sold individually. I just checked InlineTube and ClassicTube and both only offer the complete kit.

I have always had good luck heating them up with a small torch. Don't use to much heat only a little they will normally come loose.

You'll also need a good double flare tool.

I haven't done brake lines yet but did bend my own fuel line and it is not hard. A cheap tube bender is all you need.

I bought rolled tube and found straightening it to be a big PITA Though.

Penetrating oil did the trick today came right off

Glad they came loose. I was going to say that the same thing happened to me when I changed my master over to hydroboost. All I did was cut the line back some to where it wasn't crusty, and put on a new flare adapter and double flared the line, then re-bent to fit.
