Thanks for all the replies guys. I still get amazed how generous everyone is on here.

I'm borrowing a little blow touch from my father today to get it a crack (pun intended).

the flare nut spanner would of been great but i was able to get a ring spanner onto it because the line was snaped. hopefully the combo of heat and multi grips will do the trick.

Clyons8, thank you thank you for the offer! i will keep you posted!
