how to take off rusted on brake lines?
ive run into another problem with my 5lug swap. the original brake lines are rusted on. anyone know how i can remove them and not have to replace all the hard lines?

Lots of PB Blaster. Let it set a couple of days and spray once a day. Use only the proper flare wrench. If it starts to strip out, use a set of 5R vise grips. If that isn't working, try a little heat from a propane torch, then try the vise grips again. If that fails you're probably SOL.
As a side note, sometimes tightening and loosening will help break a nuts, bolts or whatever loose. Working it back and forth, not exceeding it's structural will sometimes loosen what is holding it, i.e. rust, threadlock etc..
