Default How do you take out the rear piece of an LS1 intake?

I bought a ls6 from a guy on the board and the heater? vacuum tube was filled and I was wondering if i could swap out that round piece on the back of a stock ls1 intake for the one on the ls6 but I have no idea how it comes out.
It's the part that holds the sensor and has 2 vacuum line connections on it. It wiggles around a bit but there are no visible ways to get it out that i can tell??????

That piece is none replacable through GM so try not to break it & I don't think it's ment to come out of the intake.

I asked that same thing several months ago and no one had a clue how it came out without breaking it.
