Full Version: Factory 914/6 oil line won't release

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

My apologies, I tried heat. Stumped. I'm putting at least 50 lbs of torque on the nut.

Thanks

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

big wrenches with long handle plus a third hand to keep the heat on

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
