So far, two out of two times I have removed the lines they stripped and ruined the threads....we use lots of salt....it all depends where you live.

However, I am going to heat them up like crazy (MAPP GAS) before I try. I'm also going to try cutting them with a dremel to weaken the nut first. I have many things I'll be doing to save the threads, hopefully they will work.

Several days treatment of penetrant too....
