I could possibly have done it just by removing the fuel lines and twisting it off but moving it up made it easier to grip, it was still very difficult to remove though.

There was no way it would come off when removed from the car first.
I tried this method first time I did mine. I couldnt get it tight enough and worried overtightening and shearing the bolt (I didnt have piece of rubber to use for grip).

Ended up using a G gramp on the top and rubber gloves. It was after releasing it, I realised I could have tried rubber gloves around the clamp for the grip lol )
