The liquid wrench will not hurt.

Youre not going to break the radiator

You will need a lot of leverage that’s all to get that nut to break loose that’s all

Its been on there since it was new

Try with a hammer tapping the nut with a screw driver in the direction you want it to come off

Subject: [Ferrari] oil line nut stuck solid

 

After doing my fuel filler job, I tried to do the 2 oil lines. From the start ,nothing was moving. First try was the closest nut: Lower oil line from lower part of the oil radiator (see picture). 32 mm wrench, nothing moved. Many many tries. It’s stuck rock solid. The whole radiator moved a lot, which was scary at times. I was afraid things would break around that nut. I mean those radiators  are not made of steel.

What now ?

I went back home and found an old can of “liquid wrench super penetrant”. Do you thing this would be enough ?

What would a professional mechanic do then ?

Thanks for any advice!
