Big troubles trying to take out flexible brakes lines on the datsun. Flare but wrenches, penetrating fluid, heat and all I've got to show for it is some rounded off nuts.

If I have to cut the hard lines, can I reflare them? Or am I now taking on refabrixating brake lines? I could cut the rubber ones as I have stainless braids to replace them, but that doesn't help me when I install on the ones.

Anyone know of where I can rent a flaring tool? I think they are expensive.
