Hi all,

I am having an issue breaking the nut free on the transmission line going into my 960 radiator. I tired the trick of squeezing 2 wrenches together and I had squirted the thing for a week prior with PB Blaster. (like the FAQS suggest)

Anyone know of another trick? I can't budge it and I am slowly ruining the line with a little twist action. I am using a 17 mm flare nut wrench on it along with a one inch open ended wrench.

I was wondering what the worst case result is.. If I twist the end of the line, can it be mended in any way? I believe someone mentioned they put a rubber tube in-line as a fix. If this happens to me, I am worried that there will not be enough tube on the radiator side to splice in a rubber tube. Is this a stabdard tube that I could get a small peice of?

Any suggestions are very appreciated, Thank you

Seth
