Stubborn, Stuck ALDA...Any Tricks?

I'm following gsxr's ALDA removal thread, I've read most of the others. Trying to remove a 603 ALDA. I've got the washer reservoir out of the way, 24mm wrench and channel locks are in position, trying turn wrench (on ALDA) CCW looking from above. But it won't budge. And I'm nervous if I try too hard I might damage the IP. Just sprayed some PB Blaster in there.

Any advice?

Finally got it loose. Might be easier with two wrenches instead of wrench and channel locks.

Now I just have to wiggle it out....also a challenge.

I doubt very much if I'll be putting it back.

I doubt that you will want to put it back!
