My 2004 expedition EB has reached the point to where it needs new rear brake lines. Wondering if someone has had this done before and what the costs were. Trying to fix it on my own but the fitting to the rear T connector is completely rusted and wont move. If anyone has any tips on how to get it loose i would really appreciate it.

Spray with blaster leave over night then heat it with a torch, should brake free

My whole problem is that the T isn’t attached to anything so I can’t put a lot of torque on the fitting without twisting the other lines. It’s been soaking in PB for a few days now and I used a torch and still nothing. If someone has a work around for this it would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I got it loose by holding the T with a pair of jaws and zip ties. Then I was able to get a wrench on it and break it loose.
Nice job getting it figured out. My dumb question is where is that T, and is that a factory T or some kind of aftermarket setup? I have had my 04 since new and I have never seen that T.

its right at the back behind the left rear wheel, its supposed to be attached to that metal tab on the frame but its come off for some reason. I believe its factory, my family has owned it since 2007 and this is the first time anyones done work on the lines. (sorry i took so long to see this)
