G'day guys,

just thought I'd share a picture of what happened to me today.

I was taking a transmission line off my old 1962 Valiants, unscrewing the pipe fitting from the box. It was pretty tight, and was very hard to move. After a while I figured out why I wasn't getting far, and why it was hard......(see picture).

In the end, I had to use the Dremel to get it off.....all fixed now. :twisted:

Steps to taking off line successfully:

- Spray with PB Blaster
- Do other projects for a couple of days.
- Remove line.

:D

Glad you got it fixed, though. We've all been there.

The pipe to flare adapter fitting is supposed to stay in the transmission case when the cooler line is removed. Use a backup wrench to make sure the adapter fitting stays in the case while the steel tube nut is loosened.

G'day guys,

you should have seen how i got the rear one out - straight into it with the Dremel. Then made up new lines and cleaned up all the fittings.

Job Done. :D

Thanks heaps, Peter. Now I want a cinnamon bun, but I haven't any and it's 4-something in the morning so I can't go out and get any, and even if I could I'm sick with the flu, and even if I weren't they're not very beard-compatible.

So thanks heaps. Image

Don't be a "glass-half-empty" kinda guy, Dan: do as I do and think of your beard as a convenient place to store bite-sized morsels of food for later...

Like I tell my niece, I use my beard to save food for later. :wink:

Being from the rust belt, I usually found that the flare nut stuck to the tube despite trying various penetrant oils. I now prevent that by putting just a little anti-seize grease on the back side of the flare and on the threads - since I've done that, I've never had the problem.

I also tried the trick of using a flaring tool to hold the tube while turning the nut, it sometimes worked.

Teflon tape FTW. The thick yellow gas-line variety.
