VK commodre just purchased new brake hoses as my old ones were perished and cracking, when remving the middle rear brake line (the 1 that goes from the diff centre to the 2 rear brakes) the bloody nut has stripped and it iz now not possible 2 remove nut. i WAS using a pipe spanner not an open ender but this was still insufficient 2 remove nut
being an old car i dont think that holden will b able 2 supply a new line
i think the line goes from the master cylinder all the way 2 the rear of the car which would b a pain 2 replace
is there sum moblie service that would come and sumhow repair or make up a new line? wat would this b worth??
what is my best option?? need 2 get car back 2gether asap!
any help/comments appreciated

Try calling holden they might still have one laying around they can get in for you. I've got a lot of odd vh parts in the past few years from them.
If holden can't get it in call a wrecker.
You might even find repco can get an aftermarket line in, give them a call as well.
Let us know how you go mate.

Where abouts are you? In Brissy there are a few places that can supply a length of pipe with the ends flared and unions already fitted - just have to give them an idea of how long u need the pipe. Other than that try a set of vice-grips on the nut??
