I'm finally getting around to getting the clutch master cylinder fully reinstalled and this is really the only thing I need to do before the car is road worthy.
I'm replacing the hard line that comes out of the back of the clutch master, and connects to the soft line. The nut on the hard line side is completely rounded off, and nothing I have tried so far is working on it. I've tried wrenches (before it was as badly stripped), I've went and bought a Craftsman stripped nut remover set, which didn't do me much good, and I've tried vice grips probably as hard as I could possibly make them, and they end up spinning. The nut has been soaked in PB Blaster on numerous occasions.
The only other thing I can think of doing is possibly cutting the mount off where they connect, and getting a new soft line to go with the hardline, it looks like I would have to take the slave cylinder out to do this, and I'd really rather not.
Any suggestions? I have way too much time into this one nut.
