It may require heating with a torch and then using your 3' long drift. Don't think heating the coupling where the bolt runs through would hurt anything other than the o-ring in the flange that can be easily replaced.

I had a thought...........I have been told by several people that an air impact driver works really well on stuff like that. they claim it will vibrate stuck pins loose that you cannot drive out with hammer and punch.

Hi, Ccjersey.
The thought of using an air or electric 'rattle gun' on that bolt occurred to me as I was writing my past post but I suspect that it might be rather hard to get one in there. It might be worth looking into whether it would be possible to get a small jackhammer in there from underneath with a long moil in it to try doing the same thing that Wlf89 said he was thinking of trying with a hammer and a long bar, attacking it from the bottom.
Just my 0.02.
i finally got around to working to trying to get the hose off today with no luck, i heated it up red hot a couple of times and have beat and beat on it with no luck. i have turned it some with ratchet but pretty sure its just the bolt twisting and fixing to break. anymore ideas? im not sure where the hoses are leading to from the block im working on they are hidden under the floor board, but looking like im gonna have to see if can unhook them and pull the whole thing out and work on it.
Not going to be easy but here is where the lines go. Agree your going to need to remove the assembly to get at those stacked connections. I don't know your s/n but the parts diagrams seem pretty much alike.
ok so today i took the other connections loose but i still cant them out because the whole assembly wont fit thru the little hole and cant get them turned sideways for lack of room to move the hose going to the tank up and down. looking like might just have to cut the whole damn thing out and replace the hose and 2 tubes (one leads to the tank and the other across to the left cylinder) so does anyone have or know where i might find these 2 tubes, 6k7445 and 6k7518 if it comes down to doing that.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
