    What motor is it 3B or ABY/AAN? The 3B tube goes directly into the block and the later cars have an adapter which is in the block. Both can be removed with a suitable size drift from the bottom of the block.

        I used a decent sized lump hammer and a drift which just fitted the hole in the block. You could soak the outside with penatrating oil too.

          I'll soak it with wd40 and find a better drift
