right, i had similar problems a few weeks ago with mine.

first things first. get your rear end on a ramp, it makes life so much easier.

i spent 3 hours gettting mine off by me hitting the end of it outwards and my old man on the end of the box twisting it around.

spray shite loads of WD40 and other penetrative oils into/onto/around it.

just takes a lot of patience and energy
