can't figure out how to pull out the rear brake line
2006 R53 has a rusted and leaking metal brake line . The one going from from front to rear. I have pulled and replaced the left side line with not much problem. The right side line snakes around the exhaust pipeand the gas tank and is trapped by the gas lines and exhaust heat shield. I'm looking for a way to simply pully out the disconnected brake line. Obviously, I could cut the line and pull out the pieces, but that doesn't help to install the replacement line
Any suggestions?

You need to soak it down over night with PB blaster.
Cut the old line out and replace it with the new line. Make sure you keep the old line and put it back together the same way as a guide. Tape them up and use the new line and match up the design with bendng it.

Thanks for the confirmation and the link. All helpful.... the right side line was so corroded that it broke into 4 pieces with just a little tugging. Bent the new lines and installed them. Not pretty, but perfectly functional.
