I need to remove this

I need to reach out to the 351M professionals:
I have a vacuum leak at the tree on the back of the engine. I can put a wrench on it and move it but I am not able to tighten or remove it. Can anyone out here give me some info on how this works or the best way to remove it?

You could probably just coat the whole thing in some silicone caulk and call it good. Im not sure you can unscrew it - is it pressed in?

It has a nut, I dont know if the tube for the tree is through the nut like a flare fitting and nut design. If it is like that then I just need to keep working it till I can break it loose. Other option is to take the intake off but trying not to do that if I dont have to.

I unscrewed mine when I replaced my intake.

Remove your oil sensor sending unit first. no other way to do it.
i wanted to put some sealant on mine and i broke it chasing a vacuum leak.
i had to get a new one. it is supposed to be all one piece with the nut.
i just used a wrench and screwed it out. it s all threaded or supposed
to be threaded.
it is fragile so be careful.
i put Teflon tape on mine and screwed the new one back in.

I think it's pipe thread and yes nut on bottom of "T" is part of it.
