Grab, twist & pull. Clean the OD with brake clean or IPA (Isopropal Alcohol) so your grip won't slip. If you need to use plyers put some rubber between the plyers and the aluminum. A rubber glove or inner tube would work.

yeah, I've read both of those threads. Lets just say I've tried the grab twist and pull method. All the parts I pulled from that car at the junk yard have been very stubborn to come apart. I had to beat the hell out of the carb to get it to separate, but that carb was junk since the check ball and weight were stuck inside the AP circuit.
