Re: [DML] Dryer Removal

I had a similar problem on 1860.  Heat does help, but you have to be careful not to set the fiberglass on fire.  
 
You may also want to try a better penetrating oil.  Kroil is what I use.

I have the early type of acculator/dryer. I cannot get the top line
nut to come loose. It is 28mm, which is large and I'm holding the
dryer still with a 1 1/4" wrench. I have soaked the connection with
liquid wrench. But still the nut will not come loose, and is being
damaged. This is the short line from the dryer to the inside of the
car. I have removed the plate under the spare tire to get to it. 
What should I try next. Does it help to heat the nut and line with a
propane torch?
