How do you remove a striped flare nut ?

Question

flare nut goes to the power steering hose.

Answer 1

A small pipe wrench will probably remove it if the vice grips don't work

Answer 2

Have you tried Vise-Grips?

Answer 3

Vice-grips would work.  You could also use a SMALL strap wrench (google a picture of it so you know what it looks like; you can pick one up at Home Depot or a similar store for about $4).  If neither of those things work, you could drill a small hole on two sides of the nut and insert screws and use those to gain leverage to remove the nut.  If that doesn't work, use a small hacksaw along the side of the nut to split the metal and then pry it open.
