Miele Man: That does help. Thanks!
...and sorry about the messed-up nomenclature. Good thing you knew what I was talking about better than I did!
EDIT: Well, it would have except that the one that is now broken free went the regular way, i.e. counter-clockwise. Does it make sense for these to use reverse threading for opposite sides? Dunno. But I'm halfway home.
FINAL EDIT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE: Both sides go counter-clockwise for removal. Fight hard, trust the threads. The correct answer to my original post did in fact turn out to be "more torque, ya jerk."
