Thanks for the idea. I tried to heat it with hair driers but it apparently is not enough. I wasn't sure about using torch since the fitting and hose is of aluminum. I think I will just cut off the block head fitting that is grabbing the hose with bolt, since the fitting is already cut off from condenser (so I got a new condenser from Rock auto ~ $130). This will allow me to reuse the bolt also to the new condenser.
