My solution was: a lot of heat Used my propane torch and to protect brake lines, I covered them with my welders gloves, because I couldn't find any plumbers mats. Each bolt took around 5-10 minutes of constant heating and then serious impact gun action, but I got there :)

I used this torch and because I was on low flame, I guess it didn't need that much propane. Still on the same tank
