For god's sake someone help. I need to replace what I believe

>>17588922
Is there enough space/clearance to apply a breaker bar?

>>17588928

Nope, its situated under where the intake filter would be so its about halfway into the car. I barely have any room to hit the end with a hammer.

>>17588922
It's not reverse threaded is it?

Use a line wrench, then use moar force.

>>17588945

No it's normal threaded, I've seen replacement videos, its for a grand cherokee

>>17588922
Use a line wrench, heat, air hammer with chisel bit.

Some combo of those things will do it.

>>17588972
This is your answer

Flare nut wrench
Pull as hard on it as you can with one arm
Smack the wrench with a hammer

Applying pre-pressure before a hammer blow is usually a very good way to get stuff like that lose

>these fags saying flare nut wrench

bro get a pair of VICE GRIPS on that bitch. some penetrating blaster too

if its stuck the vice grips will get it.


>source: power steering delete

get a long pipe and put it on the end of the wrench for leverage and use it as a cheater bar

What advantage does a vice grip plier have over a nicely fitting flare nut wrench in this scenario?

Flare nut crow foot would be ideal for steering box lines. Cut the steel line off, use a 6 point socket.

That's your only hope without proper tools. GTFO with that vice grip bullshit.

To quote Archimedes
"Give me a lever long enough... and i can move the world."

Use a longer wrench

>>17588922
thats not the wrench you need, use line wrench for more surface grip and pull like a man

>>17588922

Use heat. Fuck it. And then hit it harder.

>>17588928
Crows foot attachment for the breaker bar will let you break it out.

because when the nut is rusted (its a JEEP) the flare nut wrench will just strip it

i'd always try the flare nut first, but if you're replacing it anyway the vice grip will actually work

don't tell me flare nut wrench can't strip out a rusty flare nut

Master tech here, if you are replacing the line, cut the line end off and just USE A SOCKET + EXTENSION, done this a million times

>>17589699
Will most likely have to do this, but that will mean cutting the low pressure line as well fuck I hate rust.

>>17589800
You could probs bend the low pressure line out of the way enough though, usually they have enough bend in them as long as u don't kink it

>>17589816
It has some surface rust and I doubt they have much life left that would allow it to bend. I'm afraid of trying to untighten the low pressure hose to find it too is rusted shut. Fuck.

>>17589372
Sure they can - but thats why you heat it up with a propane blaster before attempting to get it off

>>17588922

Just heat the fucker. Will be the most effective solution

>>17588982
>, its for a grand cherokee
just get a new car.

i'm assuming you have let real penetrating oil soak in. I would also try tightening a smidge.. then loosen. Put tention on it and smack. tap the nut after soakign with penetrating oil to start good vibrations

use your man hands not your bitch fingers haha

>>17589699

This.
Cut off the hose/bend til it breaks.
Then use a standard 6 point socket.

>>17589800
Replace hoses together.
The return hose has been there the same amount of time- even though it hasn't been under as much pressure, it still has been through the same heat cycles.
