Transmission cooling line fitting seized. I am removing radiator for rodding or replacemt. The tubing from the transmission is attached to the radiator by a brass fitting which is seized. The fitting turns ok, but since the tubing is seized to the fitting, the tubing twists. So far I have tried the following steps fo two days. penetrating oil. Heating with propane torch. Penetrating oil while still very hot. Three vise-grips clamped on tubing to prevent it from turning. I don't want to replace the tubing the whole way back to te transmission. I may need to cut tubing and connect cut end to a new fitting with short length of new tubing sticking out of it. Any other suggestions ? Thank you Alan White | ||

I would try using gentle persuasuion as well as rotation - ie a small hammer and a spanner at the same time.... and some patience. Good luck........ |
