Doctor510 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 HEAT and channel locks (water pump pliers for us old guys) Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 This works. Add heat too. But your brake lines will likely rust if you torch them directly. 3 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 You can also tighten them.....sometimes, it's just enough to break them loose. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 If a standard wrench won't do it, vice grips work almost every time for me.If they don't then the line get's broken off and more aggressive measures are taken, rarely comes to that though. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Cool idea tr8er. I've never thought of vice gripping the flare nut wrench. I'm going to be using that. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I've never failed to break one loose with a vice grip wrench (not pliers). eg http://www.amazon.com/Tools-VISE-GRIP-Locking-Wrench-Cutter/dp/B00004SBBD/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437339607&sr=8-1&keywords=Vice+grip+wrench#productDetails 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Also a thing I've never seen. Buying one! Thanks guys :) Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Also a thing I've never seen. Buying one! Thanks guys :) They make multiple sizes and Amazon's description leaves much to be desired. Look up the product site to see what size jaw you want for your needs. I just buy all the sizes so it doesn't matter :P The thing about these is that they are strong enough to deflect the fitting and literally break free the threads...which...may not be what you want if you're not planning to replace the line :) 1 Quote Link to comment
