Re: Connector DAQ
If you can't get the line fitting to come off the adapter, try just unscrewing the adapter from the turbo itself, then separate the fitting with vise grips on a work bench. That fitting is at a bad angle, and I see a lot of people round them off by having the wrench at a 30 deg angle on the fitting. Your's appears to be a victim of this.

!!!DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING W/ A TORCH!!!
Otherwise you will destroy that oil line.
This works very well for almost any rust ridden fastener especially exhaust bolts.
Put some heat into the fastener w/ a torch. You only need about 300 degrees for this to work NOT red hot. Once heated touch the fastener with a candle or bar of parafin wax until the wax flows into the threads. Let it sit for 10 seconds or so and then try to take it out again.
An old very wise man told me about this years ago and I called bullshit...
I was wrong. It has worked for me about 75% of the time.

For anyone who has tried to take stock exhaust bolts out of an old Big Block Ford, try this. It works on those and that was proof enough for me.

Re: Connector DAQ
Doesn't matter as long as the wax flows into the threads between the two.
BTW, at 300 degrees, parafin is as thin and free flowing as Methanol. Hence, it really penetrates and once in the threads it also acts as a lubricant.

Re: Connector DAQ
I should have mentioned before that this method will not solve the prob of not having the correct tool. I mentioned it because I saw that oil line getting twisted in half through my crystal ball.
"The more something costs, the quicker you learn."
