Instead of cutting down the fitting, get a haxsaw and cut just underneath the shoulder (just where the thread starts) of the fitting. You only have to cut through about 3mm of the fitting until the fitting breaks appart and the circlip is revealed. Pop the circlip off and the rest of the connection comes off and the plus to this is that the pipe doesn't get dammaged. If you cut down the fitting or use a grinder you run a great risk of stuffing up. Takes about 15 mins to do, and the fitting costs about $10 also the o rings are maker o rings, so ford is pretty much the only place to get them from
