The line is stripped because its a ***** to get off even with the proper tube wrench.

I heated mine up with a blow torch( you can get them a home depot fairly cheap) and hammered a smaller pipe wrench on. I didnt really hammer it on but kind of forced it on by tapping it with another wrench. did you check the copper washer?

OK I see so once it cooled it expanded and allowed you to turn it loose. Everyone has mentioned the washer does that go between the caliper and brake line where the screw goes in with the hole for the brake fluid?

So after placing the seals on both sides of the bolt the leak stopped as far as I can tell the peddle has pressure. Tomorrow is the real test. I'll be bleeding the brake lines and putting in more fluid if it works all I have to do is get the new brake lines on. Since the connector is stripped on one from the metal line to the rubber line I may just take it to my mechanic if the brake stick. If no sticking a guy from my jeep club has offered to help me replace the lines.

This is resolved now no more sticking. It stopped from either replacing the caliper or lines I'm not sure which fixed it but its fixed. Thanks for everyone's help!
