Yeah, I figured that the 10mm was the first thing that had to be loosened, but it's being a real *****. I've given it gallons of WD-40, but still won't come off. The nut seems like it's made of very ductile steel (i.e. it wants to "round" itself). Never heard of a flare wrench before, but after a quick Google (I know, I know ) I think that's probably what I should be using.
Thanks for the help!
