Hi to all,
I am taking the temp/oil gauge out as part of replacing the dash and have run into a problem. In preparation to loosing the nut at the head, I soaked the nut with PB Blaster and cut a slot in a spark plug socket to let the line go into the socket and then slide the socket up on the nut. All that went well and I was able to start loosening the nut. The nut turned about six flats and then has started binding the line. When turning the nut, at this point, the line has started trying to turn also. I am afraid to put very much pressure on the nut and force the line to twist which might break it. Is there a way to free the line from the nut so I can continue to remove the assembly?
Thanks,
Charlie
