Trouble with oil line on radiator
1 Attachment(s)
This is on a 1997 v90. The top line came off ok. The bottom line was trouble. I had to turn the large "nut" on the radiator. The small "nut" on the metal line is jammed on the line and will not spin. I would hate to have to replace this line. Any suggestions how to free it?

This "nut" spins freely on the line. The other does not.

PB blaster, let it sit, then thread it back into the radiator some and with an oversized wrench or cresent give it some elbow grease. Use a cheater bar on the end if necessary.

I'd try to find a used line at a local pick-your-part if you can. If not, I know some forum members frequent their local yard and have offered in the past to get parts for other people and ship them for only the cost of the part and shipping.

As with ALL heavily stuck parts, use heat, like an acetylene torch, carefully of course! At least this is an easily accessible spot. If that doesn't do it, you need to replace it.
