Patience, Patience, Patience.

Soak the nuts and tube with Kroil, once a day for 5 days. Then give it a try.

A little heat from a propane torch before soaking and then shooting the connections with Kroil to rapidly cool them sometimes helps speed up the process. Do not over heat them because there is brake fluid inside that can boil at somewhere over 300 degree F. Once you get one of them to move even slightly keep soaking and move then back and forth while soaking with more Kroil.

If you do not have Kroil, get some and in the interim use PB Blaster. It will just take you longer.

You can also mix up your own using a 50/50 mix acetone and Power Steering Fluid. I just unlocked a frozen 403 engine that had been sitting of 19 years. I soaked the cylinders for about 3 weeks with this mix before it broke loose.

Patience is a virtue. Give it plenty of time to work.
