If it doesn't fit you need a bigger hammer

That is a job for a prof. It is filled with Freon which is a toxic gas.

No gas in it, leaking, which is why I'm fitting a new one

Recently did mine. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24212
Managed to remove the upper pipe, but snapped the end off the lower one.
Then snapped the ends of 3 more in the scrappy, before forking out for a new OE pipe, (£70+).

Best of luck.
