Cracked Hose End

[Ted5374]

I'm having a b---- of a time getting this unscrewed. Any suggestions on loosing? I need to replace the hose due to the other end being cracked on my 2021 Rpod 171.

Some of those hoses can be a real bear in that manifold block. Open end wrenches tend to round off the fitting and most flare wrenches won't slide on.

Good Vice-Grips can loosen the fitting. Don't worry about damaging the hose, you're replacing it anyway.

If worst comes to worse, cut the hose/fitting between the crimp sleeve and the brass flats. Then use a 6 point socket.

Thank you for the couple of suggestions. That helps. I appreciate it!
