- Hope your using six point flare nut wrenches on both fittings. - FourRingBling 2014-12-13 22:40:39 (208 views)
  - I noticed that the flex hose ends barely have enough meat for my wrench to grab onto. - AudiCoupeGT 2014-12-13 22:43:37 (226 views)
    - I'll see how my pen oil works out. If that doesn't work, I'll give this a shot. Cheers - AudiCoupeGT 2014-12-13 23:04:30 (191 views)
      - I'm guessing that the way you know that your attempts to remove the flex line isn't working  -  scarman  2014-12-13 23:17:05 (222 views)
        
        Being an engineer, I know when to stop wrenching on a fitting. The corrosion on the fitting  -  AudiCoupeGT  2014-12-13 23:34:34 (226 views)
        
        Heat. I never touch a brake tube fitting without first hitting it with the propane torch.  -  ThetaTau87  2014-12-14 04:12:22 (201 views)
        
        Eh... sometimes it just won't work though.  -  Cash68  2014-12-15 14:36:21 (158 views)
        
        Great, but we're talking about brake tube flare nuts.  -  ThetaTau87  2014-12-15 23:47:15 (146 views)
        
        Wonder if you would have got it with heat? Sometimes it doesn't matter, especially if you don't want  -  mchaloux  2014-12-15 16:06:28 (158 views)
        
        I got both ends of the bolt glowing red hot. No change.   -  Cash68  2014-12-15 16:23:44 (143 views)
        
        I told you already, the center part is what you heat.   -  mchaloux  2014-12-16 08:49:49 (130 views)
        
        2nd on heat. I have a MAP torch and a propane one, can't count how many times I've used it.   -  quattro20v  2014-12-14 16:18:07 (179 views)
        
        Yes, be careful.   -  mchaloux  2014-12-14 09:07:22 (159 views)

        Also, I noticed that the flex hose fitting is in fact broken free from the hard line nipple...  -  AudiCoupeGT  2014-12-13 23:54:31 (199 views)

        Great idea. My "engineer" brain must've run or of juice to think of that ;-)  -  AudiCoupeGT  2014-12-14 00:12:15 (192 views)
