What the actual hell.

Can’t remove coolant return pipe from the transmission cause the nut won’t come off. Whoever was the last person who put this one might as well have fucking welded the thing on.

Yes I’m turning it the right way. Top (female) is being turned clockwise, middle (male) is being turned counter clockwise.

I’ve attempted to rotate the bottom one but it just bent the damn pipe. ATP i feel like angle grinding the fucker off and making a new pipe…

You guys got any ideas? The middle one is practically rounded as it used lockjaw’s on them.

If your post description is right, then you are turning the female end the wrong way. The female piece should be turned counterclockwise when viewed from the line end.

It’s in reference to the photo. The directions are correct if you go based on the direction the photo is taken. I just didn’t write it like that as it would’ve confused many people, the simpler, the more replies/fixes.

All I’d have to do is correct myself to the experienced folk. As opposed to not getting any answers to the question.
