Default removing ac lines

my 93 accord needs the ac aluminum lines replace, i try to remove them ,but the threats go bad on all of them , i try penetrating spray and propane torch, but they dont twist for nothing, its there a better way to remove them without the threats almost crumbling like powder, without having to buy new from the dealer? i only need it the one by the dryer, but now i need all the sections. or does anybody knows where i cab get them , i try the junk yard ,but same problem . thanks

|Dont buy junk from the junk yard, buy new from parts store..like from Auto Zone, Reiley's or Advance..they all see those parts.

Propane will not get hot enough to break threads lose, but map gas usually will. Old AC lines may not be saved; I have run into them crumbling in the past.

Some places, shops-stores, make ac lines. Or at least they use to, I made my share in the day. I still see signs and such of places that do that, just another idea of something to look into.
