I'm trying to replace the accumulator/drier in my 90 sentra I was able to remove both nuts on the 2 lines and remove the small line from the drier, but the large line doesn't want to budge at all, I just sprayed it with penetrating oil per someones recommendation but it still won't move at all going to try again tomorrow after work. Anyone have any experience with this or any tips/tricks on removing the line?? Thanks

If there is a hex head on the drier you can try getting two wrenches on there so they are in the shape of a V and squeeze.

Another method would be to get a wrench on the line and tap on it repeatedly with a hammer. Don't whack at it like you're chopping wood, just heavy quick taps to get the affect of an impact wrench. Be sure the drier side is held steady.
