I'm installing stainless lines on the rear of my car. However, one of the factory lines is frozen and the nut is starting to round. I have sprayed the nut with PB Blaster, but it is not working. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Is it too rounded to use a line-wrench (if you have not been using one already)?

Unfortunately, I have been using a line wrench already. I read online that to try and use a pair of vise-grips on the line wrench to give it a tighter fit. I'll be trying that later today..

Make sure you spray it down with power lube and then try the vise grips.

tap the nut with a hammer a couple times to break the seal.

Well...we got it off...my friend has a friend of needle-nose vise-grips that open and close "parallel". Got those suckers on there good and it finally broke loose.

Thanks for the help!
