I have also had that problem before. What I did is use a drift and expand the end of the pipe just a little. Clamped the line in a vise and tapped the tapered drift in with a hammer. Easy does it now, you don't want to expand it too much. Put the new nut on first of course. The nut is not cheap - like $40 or so from the dealer or on Ebay. Another thought would be to add a thin washer - like a fender washer - to the end of the nut. You might have to drill the ID and grind the OD of the washer to size it correctly. I was going to try that the next time I encounter the problem to see if I could save the cost of the new nut. That connection with the rubber packing nut was not the best idea. Some years they used a regular flared fitting there which was better.
