I used to do a lot of construction work and I had forgotten I had a tubing flair kit. I got the clamp you put on the tube to hold it to flair it out. It had a 1/2" hole in it. I put it on the line behind the release tool and pushed it up against it. this helped hold the tool still while I pulled and / or pried on the line to get it loose. It also doubled as a handgrip to pull on it. I wiggled it a couple times and out it came.

If you happened to have one of these tools I would suggest it to anyone trying to get these things out. I think it would have saved me tons of time had I thought about it earlier.

Now it's time for a beer

. Thanks everyone!

I like that idea.
My Rotor-flair tool would not work for that job. BUT maybe one of the dye sets might if
one were to rig it up right.
