what you will probably need is a pipe spanner. it's like a normal ring spanner but with a slot in it so you can slide it over the pipe. if need be extend it by hooking another spanner or a small piece of pipe to it.

Keep trying the WD40...Spray and leave it for 20mins then spray again and leave and so on...

I have also seen some freezing spray at Repco..never tried it but give it a go...Only spray the nut though...dont spray the whole thing otherwise you defeat the purpose of freezing it..

We have that freeze stuff at work. Im not sure how much it actually helps. Just keep up the WD-40. One reason it may be hard to undo is if the whole pipe is moving around while your trying to crack the flare nut that will be absorbing alot of the effort so trying to brace it from moving with another tool without damaging the pipe might help you to crack the nut. If there is flats on the other connection you are undoing it out of use another spanner on them and position the 2 spanners so they are not too far from each other and then with your hands just squeeze them both together. That technique is very useful :rofl: Hard to explain on here though. Or as mentioned use a decent pipe spanner and then either another one locked into the other end of it or a metal tube over the end of it and give it a sharp hit with the palm of your hand and it should crack it.

Good luck mate,

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
