Does anyone have a sure way to loosen a rusty brake line nut on a brake hose?
I've sprayed/soaked it overnight with weasel whiz and now have PB Blaster on it. I'm using fitting wrenches, not just open end, but I can feel the wrench starting to slip. I could try vise grips, but I hate to chew up the nut if there is a better way.
I can let it soak longer. I wondered about applying a little heat, but brake fluid boils at about 300 deg. F,so I'm not sure that will help much, after flushing the penetrants off.
Any suggestions? Thanks
