vacuum line fitting at manifold

[harleyjj]

I am having difficulty removing the vacuum line fitting at the intake manifold on my Tudor. It is starting to distort frm the pressure I am exerting on it with a wrench. any suggestions?

I would suggest kroil or the 50/50 mix atf/acetone and let it soak, and maybe a little heat are you using a flare nut wrench?

I had the same problem and had to get another.Guess what ! The local NAPA store had one in stock in their brass fitting cabinet,Check your NAPA store.

If the other end comes loose you could slip a box wrench on to use on the tight fittings. At the minimum use a flare nut wrench as Steve mentioned.
