97 egr fitting
i have a 97 f150 4.6. i'm having trouble getting the fitting loose that is attached to the metal tube that runs to the exhaust manifold. Is their any tricks to getting this loose? I thought about trying to heat it. The truck has 140,000 miles... Thanks

spray some WD-40 on it and let it sit for a while. it took a bit a strength to get mine off. just gotta keep working at it

yes pb will work better, it has better penetration properties as well as lube to my knowledge.
you may have to resort to heating it up with a torch if PB and shock therapy using a soft blow hammer on your wrench. if there is enough room you could hit the nut with a ball peen perhaps?
