The filler tube is press fit, a few whacks with a soft faced hammer should do the trick. I believe its the same for the the oil filler tube.

I required a short tube for my car, had to have a friend custom make it. He cut a section out of an N/A Oil Filler tube and rewelded it together so it was smaller.
