Rockshaft return oil pipe 4020

[420tlp]

I can't get fittings loose on rockshaft return pipe. The one on the left side of transmission. The nut is stuck to the pipe and will bend pipe if I try any harder. Tried tapping with a hammer to loosen but that didn't help. Maybe heat the nut? Anyone have any tricks that might help?
Thanks

Ditto on heating nut.

I will add, heat nut, ATF+Acetone let soak-hit with hammer, one on top-one on bottom, smack hard, wrench, if not , repeat!

Heat was the winning solution!!
Didn't hurt anything, pipe is a little twisted from previous attempts.
