Good luck! I PB Blasted mine a couple of times a day for a week and still couldn't get them off - even with a 4' pipe. I ended up using an impact wrench.

But, my truck spent the first 4 years of it's life dealing with Chicago winters (lotso salt on the roads!) so they were rusted _and_ tight!

Im thinking I need some special pliers to cinch down the metal fittings though.

Keisur has it right, or you can do what I did and cheat using pipe clamps instead.

edit: sorry for the duplicate messages... I was getting errors while trying to post this up last night and couldn't tell if the message was actually posting or not.
