flex head flare nut wrenches for oil pressure line?

[HuskyMan]

OK, still in the process of performing rehab on the 1984 300DT. I am installing a new oil pressure gauge line. The problem is the fitting at the
oil filter won't loosen by normal methods. I'm thinking about purchasing
a set of metric flex head flare nut wrenches which I think will do the job. My standard 12mm wrench just isn't getting the job done.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like a great Idea. I think Autozone sells them too fyi.
Sure you can find some online.

Napa should have these as well.

In your case since you already have a new Oil Pressure Gauge Tubing you could simply cut the plastic Tubing and use a socket. A 6 point Socket would be ideal.

This is for someone else doing the same job (I was removing the oil Pressure Line because I was going to pull off the Oil Filter Housing from the Block).
When I went to remove mine I found that the what I am going to call the Nut had rusted to the inner part; preventing it from turning very far due to the Plastic Tubing.

I cut the Tubing thinking I would be able to reinsert it. Well, that old Plastic Tubing is too stiff for that.
If I had not been in such a hurry I would have thought of removing the Tubing at the Gauge end so when the Nut and Tubing Rotated it would be loose at the Gauge and would not have had to cut the Tubing.
