SEIZE THE MOMENT

Frequently these are hopelessly seized.

It will be faster test all the nuts, find out which are seized, pick up replacement parts, cut the bad parts out, and bolt in new parts.



Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. Keep em turned off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!

Re: NEED HELP!

Hold the welded end of the accumulator with a wrench, and turn the nut counter clockwise (the low pressure line nut). If your nut is seized, might be wise to buy new lines and an accumulator. Do it when the lines are warm, it might be easier. You might also try to persuade it by putting a pipe on the end of your wrench for more leverage.

Re: NEED HELP!

And make sure your using the proper tools. You need a line wrench to avoid rounding it, not a regular wrench.
