Rail Fuel filter stuck

I have a 2015 F250 6.7 diesel. I went to change the rail fuel filter using a 32mm sicket as recommended, I cranked on it with everything I had and it would not budge. I then used my 20V drill driver it did not budge, I even went as far as using ,my 1/2" air drive impact at 120psi and the darn thing wouldn't move! Any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

At this point before I did anything else I would order a new bowl, they’re not crazy expensive. Then I would take a 1/2 breaker bar with a piece of pipe on the end of it and yank like hell on it. You may get a better response / different ideas asking this question in the 6.7 forum.

I have in the past used the socket and a flexable oil filter wrench to removed mine. That was the first filter change.

The o ring was not lubricated. Since then they are a breeze when you use some oil on the o ring.

You will probably break yours before you get it off so as suggested a replacement on hand is advised.

Use either air or electric Impact drive like you would use for removing wheels.
