You talking about the brackets that hold the lines onto the frame? Each one should have a 10mm screw on it. If they are rusted, apply some PB Blaster & let it sit for 5-10 min.

if that's not it, then notice the clip on the underside of the flange that holds the end of the brake line. Slip that clip out with a flathead screwdriver.

u will need a 10mm open end wrench get a good pair of vise grip trust me ! 17 mm 14mm wrenches... pb blaster woorks great and u will need the best item " needle nose pliars " to pull off the " clips " that hold the hoses to the frame.. your clips might be heavyly incrusted with mud.. etc.. clean up the area ! i had do put on stainless lines on my 82 turbo the pain in the *** line is the right rear inner line like OH MY GOD ! pain in the *** !
