Try twisting and pulling. Some can be stuck pretty tight.

Use some of the 50-50 mix as well, this stuff really works.

I'd take the idler gear out to make cleaning easier. There's a tapped hole in the stub shaft it rotates on. Attach a slide hammer to the pin and knock it out. Very simple. JMHO. Good luck.

Aw, man, is that all you were talking about? I was hoping the formula somehow involved wild animal urine as the secret ingredient....What a disappointment.

Don't forget to remove the oil galley plug in the front behind the timing gear. It's a good idea to use a long narrow brush (ie rifle barrel brush) to clean out the tube. DO NOT FORGET to replace the plug on the rebuild.

The only way to properly clean this passage is to remove the fuel pump pushrod bushing so you can get a clear shot through the tube.
