I need ideas to get this out (urgent)

[FourG63 97GST]

I need some ideas on getting the oil feed out without damaging it, the nut seems very soft and is wringing out( dont know if thats a word but u know what i mean) I have a new one i'm trying to put on but cant get the old 1 out, desparate here. Its leaking out all the oil and I cant drive my car till I replace it. I spayed PB on it just letting it absorb a bit now.

Pipe wrench buddy. ACK! I meant LINE wrench (flare nut wrench)...these bad boys will get it off.

I love vicegrips for stuff like that..... it ends up crushing the head of the nut, but you get a lot of grip on it at that point, and can easily get it free. .... hell, I've been known to clamp some vicegrips on a bolt extremely hard and hit the vicegrips with a 36oz hammer till it came free.

K, I'll try that

I was also thinking of cutting it, and use a closed 11mm wrench. think thats a good idea?

i used vice grips on mine.. what a pita that was

I think everyone I've ever done I've used vice grips and swore a lot..... be sure to swear while pulling it off, that seems to help.

Thanx alot, I got it out, I vice grip and a hammer did the job.
darm I love this site, Ive been fighting with that oil feed since last friday.

Now I want to put on the upper oil feed line on now, think its possible to get it in by just removing the manifold and leaving the turbo bolts on to the downpipe, think it would stay?
not that I'm lazy just that I already went through this precedure, and dont want to do it again. and the downpipe is kinda tricky to get on

It's worth a shot.....

God Know's I've done stuff on my car that would make a mechanic cry... just to save a few min.

K, I got that in. this is my new problem. the AGP line is leaking not were it meets the OEM oil feed but between the 13mm bolt(that connects the AGP to the OEM feed line) and the 11mm bolt right below it.
I'll try to circle it but I dont have photo and my paint dont work

 

[FourG63 97GST]

why would it leak there, what should I do?

thats an AN style line on the botom i believe, and the one on the top looks like a brake line. they have two different chamfer angles at the end and wil not properly mate for a seal, is that your stock steel line? how long is the AGP line, is it long enough to get down to the filter housing where i am supposed to be seeing a different adapter than you have on it now. the stock 2g had a adapter plug in the housing with a 4AN fitting on it that must have been changed, if so put it back on and run the braided line to it.

thats a new oil feed line I bought to connect to the AGP oil feed line. the AGP line is little over a foot long. wont be able to reach

Um, the end with the hard piece of pipe goes into the turbo in the same place as stock. The other end with a banjo fitting is supposed to be attached at the head. Check the VFAQ for the 16g install in a 2g for a picture of the location. There is currently a bolt in the spot plugging the hole so remove that and replace.
