3ltr opti hose tails help

Trying to remove the hose tails that go down to exhaust plate on my 2000 200 opti. the delaer who sold the part, said they are a pig and snap off and in fact they have. The originals are a brass threaded unit and a 19mm socket fits them to undo(if they dont snap). The new units are a composite thing and mercury part number 22-858855.

Ive tried an easyout but didnt work, so left them soaking overnight in WD-40. Any help please?

Nasty, so I have used a hacksaw blade to carefully make 3 internal cuts to the top of the threads in the remainder of the tail and then used a chisel to break the tail into 3 pieces. It is tedious and you wind up losing most of the skin off your fingers but desperate times and all that.
