Tips on getting a stuck brake line nut free...

[threedogs]

If you go the split ring spanner road pay for the best you can afford with the most meat around the head or your knuckles and the nut will suffer.

Glad you said nut[singular]
I was having a mental picture of Mark doing this Commando. LOL

Penetrene is the stuff to free a seized nut. Can be bought in an aerosol can these days

Isn't Penetrene just as another WD40?

@TD.
I have plenty of beer and a butane torch. I'll make sure I don't burn my body hair whilst attempting this commando.... Lol.

This is the stuff, loctite freeze and release. If it is stuffed, you can get a tool to re flange the end of the pipe after cutting the nut off and replacing.

used to love Penetrene but that was before CRC and WD-40 came in spray cans

I have some of that. Although everytime I use it, it seems to do stuff all.... I'll give it a shot though. I'll get some Inox or Penetrene too and soak the shite out of it with everything I have...

Could be, we used it years ago when apprenticed to free nuts etc., had CRC silicon based products then but weren't allowed to use in the powder coating area so penetrene was the weapon of choice.

Don't remember Inox or WD40, do know WD40 is made from fish oil so is good to use on your fishing gear.
