I can NOT get the lower connection loose on the power steering pressure hose. It is where the hose meets the hardline (like the ones on the BMC). I have drenched it in PB blaster, tried locking pliers, tried locking pliers + line wrench, and the LINE WRENCH is starting to ROUND THE FITTING.

It's leaking from right below the metal part where the top of the hose goes to the power steering pump. I'm going to have to pay someone to change it I guess. The thing leaks badly, as in like every other extended stop = filling the fluid back up.

I changed my water pump and thermostat, and I'm waiting to install my intake because without the intake in the way it gives more space. I'll drive it straight to a shop, but I'm hesitant to drive it around locally, daily.

Anyone have any ideas before I pay someone to do it?
