^^^This. In process of swapping engines now. Seized on the dead engine and seized on the good engine.

I started rounding the nuts and quit.

IIRC it is a 14mm fitting, difficult location for a normal length box end wrench. Stubby would fit, but I doubt you would have enough torque to break it free.

Anyone have luck with PB Blaster/ Kroil and/or heat?
