The union between the hard pipe return tube and the rubber hose to the oil tank will not release. Is that thread a normal thread, clockwise rotation is tightening?
I have soaked it with pb blaster and sili kroil with no luck. My next step is to cut the rubber hose. Any ideas to save cutting the hose? Thanks Gene |

I found that using two wrenches and squeezing them together would give me double leverage!

Nothing works so far. A friend recommended Sili Kroil used by aircraft mechanics, nothing so far.
I'll have to disconnect the hose at the tank to save the hose. I'll remove the tank. Thanks Gene |
