ok, I have found the wrench size that I need to use to take off my braided lin, my only concern is stripping it, it has loctite on it, I have tried to get it off, but it started to strip, I still have plenty of sides that are fine, what tricks do you guys use while taking off line? please help, I do not want to ruin it oh and I accedentally posted this in the ugrades section before, sorry about that, I got confused

to me that would seem to strip it, what type of pliers are you talking about?

put the fitting in a vise, its more stable. Then turn the powertube for more leverage.

Pliars? Jesus, dont use pliars to remove gas lines, youll tear the hell out of the hex portion.

Use the correct sized open ended wrench. Crescent wrenches work too, but its dicey unless its a good quality. Most of them will slip a bit and tear the hex portion up.

^^ I used vice grips... it didnt hurt it one bit, but If anyone does this, use 2 wrenches, dont take the chance, the only reason why I did it was because I have a couple of extra hoses...
