How to remove oil line from side of motor?
I'm backdating my oil lines to install my SSIs. I can't really get the oil wrench on the nut where the line enters the motor. What can I use?

Very large 18" - 20" Crescent wrench ... make sure the jaws are tight on the fitting -- no play whatsoever!!!

For the tight areas....Campagnola or Park Bicycle open end wrenches.

John,
That's what I encountered when upgrading my system to a front cooler, and I used a big 20" long Crescent wrench to loosen the nut! No harm to nut, and I used a much smaller 36 mm wrench to reinstall it back on after modifications, later.
