John,
I can tell you this...removing isn't the problem, it's reinstalling them.
A good hint is to use a piece of stiff wire as a 'template' for bending the
new line. If you don't follow this advice, you'll spend a lot of time and
still not have a good looking or fitting brake line.
Test the fit of the new line fitting to the junction, or it may strip. (Got
that T-shirt) You might even just remove the T-junction/union thing and
clean it so you can test the threads off of the vehicle. You have to bleed
it anyway. While you're at it...clean and degrease and derust/paint the axle
and diff.
Otherwise, it's pretty straightforward R/R.
