Well, I wound up using the heretofore unmentioned option - pay someone to do it.

Had a similar issue with the rear brake hose ( 4 x 4 truck ).

I had borrowed some Snap On crows feet flare wrenches, too - no dice.

I did not think I had farked it up that bad, but that mechanic was PISSED at me for a while!

:mad:

Look,dude- I backed off before I thought it was fubar.

You got a lift - I don't.

You got the knowledge that if you fick up the metal line, you can buy another and charge me.

For me, it was in the driveway- no bueno if it can't move.

And, on a lift, you can probably get on it with a mini propane torch.

I am on my back on the driveway with no torch and thinking man, that's close to the gas tank.

Yeah, no , time to pay.

Flare fittings and I have a long history of not getting along, though.

Phuckers.

Had to use a pair of vice grips to get mine off. Couldn’t get the wrench in that tiny space enough to get any leverage to break it.
