It just pops off. I removed mine a few months ago while doing a carb rebuild and didn't use any special tools on it...

I cut mine off using a dremel with a cutting wheel, vertically right down the center. You just have to be careful.

FSM and the carb manual both show how to remove it, of course it 'must' be replaced with a new one after setting the carb. lol.

Needs to be cut off. Pry on it enough and you can damage the needle or threads.
