Fuel Distributor Removal

I have had issues with the plunger in the fuel distibutor getting stuck, and the car not starting.

Read as many threads as I could about removing the fuel distributor for cleaning.

Tackled the project today:

Everything went smooth (except), Went I got to the back side of the distributor, there was a brass fitting that needs to be removed. It has a fuel line coming out of the bottom, and has two sections that screw into each other.

I have attached a picture but it is not real clear. Getting the camera into that area is difficult. It is the fitting on the right that I am not sure how to remove.

I put alot of pressure on the fitting in both places, but it did not move.

I ended up trying to clean as much as I could with carb cleaner by holding the fuel distributor up.

Car is running, but I would like to be able to get the fuel distributor off and give it a more thorough cleaning.

Let me know if you have any tricks on getting the fitting off the back.

Thanks!
