Now don't take this the wrong way but you have took the nut off haven't you. 
Seriously though it sounds like one of those cheapo type toilets, probably with a flaw in the casting, which would explain why the old one was so tight as well.

I think I will give up and call a plumber!""
Reading this bit again seems to explain the problem. He has not removed the cistern from the pan. He has wrenched the old syphon out of the cistern by brute force and is now trying to screw the new syphon tail into what's left at the bottom. I would like to think I've got it wrong and he's doing it the right way but I fear the worst.
