Like one post said typically the thin nut is actually soldered to the cooler and is used to prevent twisting off the cooler leg while the wider one should swivel around the line. One secret I've found over the years that works great on hydraulic fittings is this. Now depending on how stiff the cooler legs are you might have to use something as a back up device, but take a hammer or a hammer and punch and give the swivel nut several good hard whacks on a couple of the flats. I've seen #32 fittings that wouldn't budge with a wrench and a cheater pipe break loose with the wrench alone after a couple of good solid hits. Like the old saying goes when all else fails get a bigger hammer...in this case though it actually works. Good luck.
