Good afternoon,
I attached a picture for you.
Is this the line that will not come loose?
If it is not, can you post a picture of the line for me?

Hello, thanks for reply. Yes, that is bolt I am not able to remove (banjo bolts on top and bottom of radiator). They won't come loose even after using penetrating oil like PB Blaster.

Okay, thanks.
You need to use a wrench to hold the bottom portion of the adapter to the radiator and then use a wrench or a socket on the top. You have to keep the bottom from turning.
They are tight. You may need either a air or electric gun to release it.
