Second question of the day. While I have the oil tank drained for oil change and valve job, I decide to take the oil tank out and clean it inside and out and the paint exterior of the tank ------- and while I am at it, to get way up under right rear well and clean up all dirt and rust and give it a good coat of POR ---- and also take off the rear bumper and do the same inside of it ---- and also reverse the muffler clamps the PO had on the wrong side which are eating into the back of the bumper. . . . . and then do the left side next. . . . .

Anyway, there is a big nut (about 2" dia.) at the bottom of the oil tank and which holds on the end of the black rubber oil line running to the engine. It won't come off the oil tank. I used penetration oil. It still won't come off. I am using so much force, I am afraid I will twist the part of the oil tank body where the nut screws in.

Is there a trick to getting this particular nut off? If not, should I use heat?

Any good advice appreciated.

Thanks.
