Funny you ask what tools I've used. Here is what I've used for starters.

Everything listed is 18MM:

Crows foot w/ ratchet only, w/ ratchet, 2 extensions and a universal joint

Pipe wrench

Pipe Crows foot w/ ratchet only; w/ ratchet, 2 extensions and a universal joint

Open end wrench

Some Liquid Wrench

Some stitches

And a 4 foot cheater bar ( no clearance to turn )




Now, this is what I've got in mind:

Cut the Rubber hose off to the steel pipe. Then get some High pressure hose and clamp the hell out of it.

If this don't work, I will cut the steel pipe off at the fitting and TRY to use a 18 mm socket to get the damn thing off.


If anyone else has any other idea's, please feel free to inform me.

I'm all about JERRY RIGGIN'!!!!!!
