Pari,
Try to tighten the nut first. Not much, just enough to budge it. That often breaks the corrosion and allows you to loosen it without extra medical approaches!
Also, while I have not done this job, it looks like a crows foot might be a good idea. Try Sears.

Pari, I also have a huge pipe wrench and a huge adjustable wrench that I used on mine along with a 4' section of pipe.
I'm off tomarrow and will be in and out (I have Kindegarden Graduation)
I'll also be arround this weekend.
Let me know when your wrenching!

John, I's getting too late for me to stop by on the way home.
Work getting in the way of playtime.

I'll call you on the way home.

Thanks guys ! The oil line was just shipped yesterday from Pelican, I guess they were waiting for it to arrive. Anyhow, I plan on tackling this when I have the SC in the air to replace the steering rack next week. After reading Sonic DB's post on pelican, I don't want to take any chances. I will be very careful removing this oil line as not to damage the thermostat threads. I will let you all know when I plan on wrenching.
