Fitting new tubes to radiator from Eiswolf 2

[jesalr]

Hi, I picked up an Eiswolf 2, but the only orientation it will fit in my case is with the radiator on the front with the tubes at the bottom. Because of the PSU shroud, this causes the tubes then bend and pinch really poorly at the entrance to the radiator. I want to replace the tubes from the radiator to the quick couple with a set that have a 90 degree angle on them (https://www.alphacool.com/shop/aios...baer-tpv-extension-set-900-tubes-and-fittings).

The issue is that, when removing the current tubes, the G1/4 fitting that is attached to the radiator won’t come loose. Could you advise me on how to remove them?

I would try it carefully with an appropriate pair of pliers. Then it should work.

Pliers caused the meta surrounding the joint to bend, looks like it’s damaged

Do you have any more pictures?

It was super tight, so I ended up stripping away a little of the colour on the fitting, and then eventually it caused the metal on the radiator itself to buckle
