Default Badly Rusted Rear Brake Lines

This block that sits atop my Dana 35 has a lot going on. Evidently it's the vent for the axle AND the junction to feed the right and left rear wheel cylinders from the flexible line. Does this thing come off and can it be replaced? The other end of the flex line is so rusted that I'm afraid the fitting will break off if I try to loosen it. I want to be able to replace the whole mess if It comes to that but Chrysler says the flex line is discontinued. Help!

If you're concerned about snapping it off when loosening it, PB blast the heck out of it!
