I noticed that one of my friends that was helping me reinstall my turbo cross threaded one of the brake lines into the brake master cylinder causing it to leak. So i try to take it out but i end up stripping it even with the right tool, so i try and use gloves and some pliers to try and remove it with no luck. What do i do?

Get a new MC. That sucks, thats why i cannot let people work on my cars. Thats a costly mistake, best thing to do is get a new MC and a new line. You don't need to try and ghetto it back together just to have it leaking.

Common sense would dictate that a junk yard or another 240 owner would be your best bet.

Best bet is to go to a junkyard, to get a line from someone on this forum locally. If you have to go to Nissan it can take up to a week or so.

Just make sure that if you get a used one that the compression fitting isn't cross threaded, or stripped just like yours. This is pretty common.

just use a vicegrip, take off fitting and cut off the end of the pipe, take fitting out, new fitting and flare the end again.

done.

no need to buy a new line...

For him to buy the tools to cut properly and then flare the end properly, and also get a new fitting is going to cost 10 times more than just buying a used junk yard line for 5 bucks
