How the hell can I open the flare nut circled in red?

I blasted it with WD40 but to no avail, no matter how hard I grip the 2 nuts and try my hardest, they just won't god damn budge.

maybe use a proper penetrant instead of a lubricant?
>>

This. WD40 is not a penetrating oil. And use a line wrench.

WD40 is not a lubricant.

I did, I used 2 line wrenches.

>WD40 not a penetrating oil

Huh? I always thought it was lmao.
>>
>>15804327
put a hollow pipe over your spanner for more extension, like a floor jack handle or something.
>>
>>15804327
Try pb blaster or brake cleaner
>>
>>15804387

I'm pretty pressed for space down there but I'll try that.
>>
>>15804397
you wont need much space to crack it with a long extension, then finish it with a standard spanner. just make sure you have a spanner on the bigger nut, or you risk twisting the line.
>>
>>15804396

I'll get some PB tomorrow and try the pipe trick aswell.
>>
>>15804408
it'll crack with wd40 with a decent extension pipe.

The longer the extension, the easier the nut will crack.
>>
>>15804422

Ok, thanks for the tip.

So WD40 is a penetrant.
>>
>>15804443
no, it's a water displacement fluid with lubrication and penetration properties. - Water Dis-placer 40th attempt - WD40.

It will crack with just the extension, but may aswell gave it a squirt for lube the threads a bit.

>>15804460

Oh I see, I'll get some PB and pipes anyway. I work close to Canadian Tire.
