Default Receiver dryer

Anyone have any advice on how to remove it without breaking the fitting that goes into the firewall? I have new muffler hose so Im not worried about the bottom fitting. I do have to salvage to the fitting that goes into the firewall!!

I think I might have sacrificed a wrench to the tool gods. Go buy a cheap set from big lots and then you dont have to worry about destroying them.
