Stupid schrader valve problem

I am in the process of installing a fuel pressure gauge onto my LT1. Ive been trying to remove the schrader valve core but I can't get the damn thing out. I'm using just a regular valve core remover from Autozone, but I can't get the thing to hookup and twist out. Am I doing something wrong??

Lefty loosey. It's no more complicated than that.

I just have a little tool similar to this. Hole in the middle with two prongs.
