I would caution the use of impact on this stuff. Best bet is a real good tight fitting six point socket and and then lean into it. If I remember correct it is a steel bolt into an aluminum housing so they tend to weld together. High impacts might crack the housing. Heat from a hair dryer or heat gun applied to the area might help too.
Rap the head of the banjo bolt with a brass hammer a few times. This usually breaks the bolt loose. Don't kill it but strike it. You want to be somewhat careful putting excessive force on a wrench trying to remove it. If the threads are stuck then you can twist off the hollow bolt.
