I just took off the original cap, grabbed the end with a pair of waterpump pliers and wiggled it. Came out quite quickly.
The big one really helps reduce blow by out of the tube.

Thanks to you guys, but this one is in running engine and do not want to mess it up, as someone will have use for it in perfect original condition. Someone has dealt with removal of this tube, using unique / different technique , I'll bet. Maybe have to figure a tech out myself

You might try grabbing it with a strap wrench, trying to twist it at the same time as rocking it back & forth. Mine is pretty tight as well, that's the approach I'd take to getting it out.
