853 Drive Motor

[TbredFarmer]

Left side easy; right side is under the control valve, facing the oposit way. I got the outside hose disconnected; but, can't get to the inside hose because the outside coupling attached to the motor in right against it. I was going to simply remove the outside coupling; but after putting a monster wrench on it and some heavy grunting, it will not budge. Any suggestions? Grunt harder? I just don't want to mess up the motor or coupling. Motors are dated 96 and probably have never been removed.

I'd like to say more grunting will hopefully free it to allow access, but i don't want to say it and you snap the fitting off. Does it have a locking ring on it that comrpesses an Oring to create a seal? if so, loosen that first and hopefully lower the force needed. Even strike the side of the fitting where there are no threads it may crack the seal too.
Good luck freeing it!
