Looks like it's just welded there. Incoming line, not the bango bolt. I've been soaking it in WD40 for a year probably - no luck. Used brake line wrench and locking pliers - no difference. Don't want to use heat there, think it's too dangerous. Any idea, please?

Not sure what you are asking. Can you re-phrase?

hes asking for a more clear description of which line your asking about.... Pics would help a great deal too... but i believe it should be a regular bolt... just keep trying with a wrench... if you break it you may need a new fuel filter and bolt, but the line should be fine. And yes, heat and gas dont mix.

Guys, I posted this in the Honda forum, expecting people know something about hondas :)
This is not a bolt, this is incoming fuel line. It has a connector that screws into the body of the fuel filter, much like a brake line into the brake cylinder. And I don't want to break it, because it goes all the way back to the fuel tank, and it would be a pain in the ass to replace it.

oh hahaha.... i was confused... i know what line youre talking about.. duh.. try using a penatrating oil instead of WD40 which is a lube... then just crank on it and watch the line and make sure it doesnt twist.

Good, we are on the same page now:wink:
Thanks, I'll try something else - do you ahve any particular brand in mind? For US market.
And I'm seriously thinking about trying to fit a sabre saw there and cut damn thing in halves.
