I broke the ac line going to the dryer. What's the trick to remove it?

I have to replace the ac line that goes to dryer from the compressor. It feels like I'm going to break the dryer trying to get the ac line loose. What's the trick?

Thanks

No trick I know of, it just sucks ass. Make sure you have a wrench on both sides and try to work it back and forth. In my experience you're going to end up buying a dryer. Hopefully you don't have the same issue at the dryer to evap fittings.

I squirt PB Blaster into the coupling nuts and then use two wrenches clocked close to each other and squeeze them together to break the nut loose. Sometimes if a regular (or even flare) wrench feels loose, I'll use high quality adjustables and make them as tight as I possibly can to reduce chances of just rounding the nut.
