Just one last thing, b4 engine will drop...

[bryant4]

literally one more connection to go and it will not give... 78 sc first drop

Working on trying to undo the hard line connection between the oil tank and the engine.
Heated with map gas torch, Two six foot, burly guys on large wrenches huffing and puffing but no good. It will not budge.

Unless there is a trick, I am gonna sacrifice the line and cut thru the rubber part.

Any other wisdom out there?

thanks

Rest the head of a hammer on one of the flats of the nut and hit the opposite side with another hammer. Repeat on as many sides of the nut as you can swing at. Sometimes this helps.

Use a pipe clamp to pull together your wrenches. Talking about the ones that use an iron pipe and a screw to tighten the jaws. I left mine with tension and PB Blaster overnight and then retightened it and it started to budge. Make sure to use antiseize when you put it back together.

Well, I tried the hammer method with a 3lb sledge in each hand, but no luck yet...

will try the pipe clamp method next

thanks
guys

The secret is leverage - - - add length to the wrenches for more torque
We use a big adjustable and a pipe wrench with a jack handle over the wrench handles

Well,
Sboxin, your tip was the one that finally broke it free. My helper was not here bit I was able to do it alone with the help of some really long 'cheaters'.

thanks to all who responded!

Great to hear you got it, they can be a SOB !. Fact is, they really don't need to be that tight to seal and stay put.
