Richard,
Sounds like some one put it on much tighter than necessary. I block my coach in the raised position to give me more room to work. I remove mine with a strap wrench & had no problem. I only put it on "hand tight". By the way it is not necessary to remove air pressure from the system prior to removal. Sorry I don't have an alternative I have had to personally use.
Might look for a stronger strap wrench that you can put an extention handle on, but the tire can get in the way. I also have a very large set of channel locks I'd try. Last resort is driving a very long and large screwdriver through it.
