I think, what I'm going to do, since the lines are bad, going to cut them off near radiator, use the tool designed to remove the lines again and hopefully get somewhere with out having to replace the radiator. If I can accomplish that, move on to the brakes!
I started the process of removing the radiator. On my Expy, its really not a bad job, (just wished I'd started the job in the garage), so, if lines still will not come out of radiator, I can pull radiator, cut lines off close enough to get a socket on that fitting and remove it that way. Sounds like a lot of screwing around, but I aint got the cash to throw around, and I need to get something done.
