I bought a used aluminum intake and it has a fitting for a bypass hose to the water pump that I don't need. It is right in the way of where my alternator bracket goes. It is round so there is nothing to put a wrench on. I tried vise grips but it won't budge. Somebody didn't put antisize on the threads. Any ideas how to get it out? Thanks, John

ouch.... heatin her up with a propane torch will get it loose.... not sure if it'll discolor the alluminum tho.

Howdy fellow '68 vert owner!

We use a small pipe wrench at the shop. Usually gets them out pretty easy.

Another solution is to cut off the fitting, tap the inside of it and put a pipe plug in it.

Soak it with penatrating oil first.

PB Blaster or Kano Kroil will help, then use the "big red wrench" if need be.

Thanks guys, the pipe wrench did the trick.
