I can't for the life of me remove the union fitting in the inlet port on my carb. I've replaced one carb body, and so need to transfer this fitting over to the new carb in order to continue using the hard lines. There is no room for a wrench or socket head, and I'm dead out of options. Finding a replacement fitting seems impossible too, since I'm in New Zealand. Everything is 10x harder.
I'd love any tips. I'm tempted to go to a flexible line set up, but that will require me to remove the same fitting from my second carb anyway. So either way, I need to get these out.
I've modified wrenches and tried all sorts of tricks. It's in there good and if I don't get a good grip, it's not coming out.
Thanks in advance.
