I'd take off the whole pipe, but they are rusted to engine... Could I cut the pipes and use a compression coupling to put another pipe with the new air pump check valves on them? Could I sauter the pipes like I would under a sink? I don't really care to blow up myself or the truck. Thanks for any and all helpful suggestions...

A good line wrench is recommended. Applying heat to the fittings would really help. F4FLIFE'S TOO SHORT TO FISH ONLY ON WEEKENDS!
