Yep call a A&P to remove it for ya! Man I can't believe you haven't thought of that by now! You Sparkies never remove or replace your now panels how is this any different? LOL Sorry Bob I couldn't resist F'n with you.

If you are still fighting this very simple task and losin' try a BURNZ-O-MATIC Torch heat the manifold fitting only its aluminum and it will expand faster than the steel B nut on the hard line hold the manifold fitting with a wrench and turn the steel B nut in the tighten direction first then loosen it.

And as mentioned before it is recommended that you use some line wrenches.

Good luck.

Oh yeah Welcome to the board.
