slow down! Have a beer Sleep is good. Use some break free and give it some light taps with the hammer and then try to move it again. I personally would heat it up a little but I'm a mad scientist.

You may have this thing already licked, but I had a similar problem but mine wouldn't disconnect. I would soak it with your favorite penitrating oil, and add just a little heat, while watching that you dont melt the hose.

Eventually a lot of twisting got mine to break free.
