Am trying to change fuel pump on 1992 V6 Camry station wagon. . Nut from pump fuel line onto fuel line to engine is solidly stuck. Have used back-up wrench and flare wrench and penetrating oil but to no avail. HeLP me please!

The only thing I can suggest is make sure you are using a good penetrating oil like PB Blaster. Some people use WD 40, which is good for many things, but not really great as a penetrating oil. Spray it several times and let it soak over time. You may even try tapping it lightly after each time you spray it.

Good luck.

Thank You for your suggestions. Used Loctite Freeze and Release and plumbers wrench. Managed to free both nuts and install new fuel pump - actually, one from the wreckers. Works fine now.
