Assuming you've depressurized the accumulator (with key off stomp on brake pedal 20 or so times)... the key here is to use a hex key in a socket on a racheting 1/4 or 3/8 wrench, not just a short / bent hex key. then put a looong pipe or extension on the ratchet wrench. You need ONE good tug with alot of sideways leverage to break it loose. Spraying PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench etc at that bottom connection on the accumulator may help, I do it but not sure if it helps. I've had a couple that I never htought would come off and I always got them. Just keep at it and do your best not to strip that female hex built into the accumulator !
