So we crawled around and started to get to work. Both fronts lines need replaced and to be quite honest me and another competent mechanic have no idea how you guys get the lines off that "T" where it is placed! There is no chance in hell we can get at it well enough, plus the rust looks way to caked on. We are guessing the T is toast too.

Additionally, where the hard line meets the flex line the corrosion is so ugly we cannot even determine how the two fit together, so I'm temporarily screwed...and will most likely need new flex lines too!

The line from the master to the T looks great. Has anyone cut and flared this and put a 3rd party T up stream a foot or so and then rerun new lines? We see no way of working with the existing T based on it's location.
