    make sure you soak those lines before you attempt to remove them or they will just twist/ brake apart..

    the tire blowout did the damage ~ i am blessed all the damage was a brakehose and a tire. i was on freeway going about 60 at 4am heading to a swapmeet when it blew - open freeway with a severed brake line allowed me to coast and ebrake it to safety.
