Arrgh.

I've worked harder attempting to remove one flare nut from the a tee fitting on the 210 than I did replacing the control valve and spheres on the much older 201. The other end of the line goes into the control valve at a place that's inaccessible to pliers, so it'll be worse.

I cut the line off at the nut. Stuck a 12mm deep socket on it, it spun freely.
Stuck a 11mm socket on it. It was hard to turn, but it spun too.
5" curved jaw vice grips were a no-go too, and about the biggest thing I can fit in there. Didn't have any break free or liquid wrench, so I soaked in in super lube for the night, will try to torch it in the morning. Might end up replacing three lines instead of one.

Mitch.
