To remove them, use an opened end wrench on the fittings located where the lines meet the master cylinder and slowly turn counter clockwise.

To install air brake lines on a GMC C7500 for the front, first, ensure the vehicle is safely elevated and secured. Begin by routing the new air brake lines from the air supply source to the front brake chambers, using appropriate brackets and clips to secure the lines along the frame. Connect the lines to the brake chambers, ensuring all fittings are tight and leak-free. Finally, test the system for leaks and proper operation before lowering the vehicle.
Assuming you're in an air brake equipped vehicle, it could be a number of reasons. Loose air line fittings, ruptured air lines, or bad gaskets in one or more brake chambers would be the primary culprits.

The light colored lines will only last a short time 2-3 years at the most. They have many different fittings there also for your brake line replacement job.
To the best of my knowledge propane gas line cannot be connected by soldering. You have to use compression fittings with a flaring tool like you would use to flare fittings on an automotive brake line, however if you are unfamiliar with gas and how to use it I would suggest using a reputable contractor who specializes in heating. I have installed lines in my own home, and also am a general contractor, but still get nervous when dealing with gas. It can be very dangerous and if no ventilation, may cause you to pass out or even possibly be fatal. Please be extremely careful, best wishes.
