Problem Removing Oil Pedestal Banjo Bolt
Leaning on the 24mm banjo bolt holding the oil line to the oil pedestal and it is not budging. Would it help to heat it up? Worried something else might give before this lets loose.

Put a box end wrench on it, hold snug and hit it with a hammer to knock it loose. Don't ever apply heat to an oil line, gasoline line or any hydrocarbon line.

Tap the end of the wrench with a hammer or double up wrenches for more leverage. Its on there pretty tight.
