That's funny cause my big friend alex who is twice as strong as I am couldn't get mine lose. It only took me a couple of tries. Are you using a box ended wrench? I think I used 2 pair of vice-grips. Its not the right way, but it worked.

Soak it in liquid wrench or PB blaster. Tap it a few times. Just when you think you've soaked it enough...soak it some more. Use vise grips and crank on them hard. Just be careful not to kink the hard fuel line out of the pump. It should come loose.

I soaked the crap outta it today. I hope that it'll come off easier next time I try.
