A light tap with a hammer was required to free mine up.

its useless, chop it and redo the whole line.

the bracket where the line clips into in 2 thin pinch welded peaces of metal, over time the distance expands due oxidation, that particular area is not coated with a rust inhibitor from the factory (in between the 2 pieces) so unless you either chop the bracket in 3 sections, to save the line or chop the top end of the brake line, and pull until destroyed u are fucked.

just pick one
