B7100 HST Screen Stuck

[VinHay]

HI,
I am changing my HST oil on my B7100 and one of my screen filters is frozen in place. Has anyone encountered this before? I put a wrench and cheater bar, and it feels like im twisting the bolt...considering its a banjo bolt I am thinking this things is easily broken.


Should I just heat the crap out of it?

Is it reverse thread?

I am stumped.

Have you tried tightening it, just a bit?

Someone suggested using an impact and socket, when using a wrench, it felt like I was going to break something too.
Pull the wheel to make your life easier, I picked up the impact socket (26mm?cannot remember...) at Northern tool.

If it never been removed it will be super stuck.

First time I did mine, I thought I would round off the corners or break the wrench before it would break loose. I finally found a heavy wall six point socket the right size
(don't remember the size, and tractor is not here) and used a 3/4 breaker bar and a long pipe and it finally broke loose. Since then, no problems getting it off.
I think NIW nailed it.

Well....it's super stuck. (And I don't think it's been removed before)

With an impact wrench and good six point socket it will come right out. May need to remove the wheel/tire.

No heat.

It is not a left hand thread.

I've had to use a pipe wrench on some to get them out.
A new one is not very expensive.
