It's probably just a little seized on from not being taken off for a very long time. That's the one that has a flare fitting on it, right? Use a flare nut wrench, otherwise you might round off the edges of it, then you'll really be stuck. Try spraying some penetrating fluid on it first. If that still doesn't work, you could try using vice grips, but you'll probably damage the fitting if your not careful. Good luck.

If im correct there is a nut on top that you have too have a wrench on and also the one on the bottom it might be vice versa but if you just using one wrench and not sercuring the other bolt it wont come off at all.

just changed mine last week..... DEFINATLY put a wrench on the filters top bolt, and use a line wrench on the bottom.
for mine it helped ALOT to remove the air duct work from off the intake and filter box.
it still took me quite a bit of work to break that sucker loose!
