Hello,
Trying to save some money by doing the work myself. Like the title says. I having issues with the last line on driver side on radiator , that the tool won't go in to snap/click . I have sprayed that adapter with PB Blaster (I think that's what its called. ) ,even tried tapping on the tool to try to go in. Line is like frozen to the adapter.
This is what it looks like.

So I thought I would just wrench it off. Nope , moves with the adapter. Tried to move the line a little bit back and forth , even that doesn't help to break it loose. Any ideas that I can try before I resort to have the shop do it I guess.
Thank you and info or advance.

if you can reach the line and adapter going into the radiator try and warm it up a bit with a small propane torch. Hold the line with vise grips and see if it'll break loose. Only enough pressure on the vise grips to hold it don't crimp the line
