It’s never easy is it? Luckily I’m not surprised by random stuff anymore. I started removing the original trans lines this afternoon. Was working slowly, trying to catch as much atf as possible. Was removing the fittings from the trans.. it moved more sideways than counter clockwise. Yep.. the fitting broke nice and flush with the case. I don’t have my nice stubby extractors here with me. I’ll bring them home tomorrow. Just decided to push on and work through it.
