Cut the old one off using a cut off wheel so that just the head is left. Then use an impact wrench to get it out. Put the new one in using a open ended wrench and it's done.

Cutting off the long part of the old one save a bunch of fighting it.

The same method works for brake line fittings if you are repairing a hard line.

Cut the line at the fitting and you can get a socket on it instead of mashing it with a wrench.

Yup, it's a pretty common tool, or you could just go to your favorite parts store and ask for one. If they don't have it, they'll probably order one for you.
