It didn’t budge.  Not an iota, even with whacking on the wrench handle with the mallet.  The threads must have seized up but good!I’ll wait till my gf is available to tap the housing while I apply the wrench.  Might freeze it first, then a quick application of a MAPP torch before using the wrench.  If all that fails, I’ll say fooey and just cut or drill into the housing.</blockquote>
