Default Power steering delete & rounded bolt

Hello all,

currently deleting p/s and using chase bays setup. Having a real problem getting this very last fitting off. Tried undoing from the top and bottom but no joy. It’s getting rather rounded and I’m scratching my head on options.

Next step is going to be cut the line and try using an

extraction socket. Any other ideas or helpful tips?

Vise grip pliers, get a good grip and it will break loose.

unfortu

nately vice grips are we got me to this point. I even bought a $45 pair that still won’t grip. I have an extraction socket on there now after cutting the line but it won’t fully seat in order for me to get a ratchet behind it or even the vice grips to grip it

Looks like the tool needed was persistence. Thank you for the advice Swift.
