Default Fuel Pipe Removal.

Hi Guy's,

Here's another one for the experts.
I am attempting to remove the pipe from the filter.
I realized it was going to be a difficult job. So I soaked the union with Innoxa for 3 days.
Not wanting to 'butcher" the nut I converted a 14mm ring spanner to a crows foot.
Sadly it did not work, the force applied kept opening the spanner causing slippage.
Is the a way to remove this and is there a special spanner than can be purchased to do the job ?
Or do I bite the bullet and use Vice Grips ?

A proper flare nut spanner in a good brand will work ..
