Default URGENT Help!!! Remove Fitting

Does anyone know how to remove this fitting from the front of the intake manifold?



I tried putting some cloth around it and pulling with pliers, and I also tried attacking it from the inside out

Im doing the swap at the moment and have to drive it tomorrow

Should have put this in external....

If you want something that hardens fast use "quick steel" its a two part putty of play-doh consistency that you could form into the hole easily.

Unfortunately the manifold is now on the engine and anything I do will have to be done "externally"

Vaccum caps are a few dollars at any parts store. That way ya can keep it around for later use if need be. Just my .02-
