RE: Brake lines
Its actually pretty easy, just remember the copper fittings are very brittle and warp easily, if that happens you wont get your wrench to fit to remove the line. So if they're really tight use some WD40 or liquidwrench.

RE: Brake lines
Pick up an 11mm FLARE NUT WRENCH.
They bite on more than just 2 sides of the nut and provide a more secure grip on those soft brass fittings.
Spray the fittings down with penetrating oil like PB Plaster, Kroil, or Liquid Wrench (WD-40 isn't a penetrating oil).
It'll help loosen up those fittings for you.
