Just a thought, Try one of those gator grip sockets. If not, use a long nose pliers and pull off as much rubber hose as you can, then use a socket that is tight fitting onto the tester then tap it on the tester with a hammer. It should bite into the fitting and you can unscrew it.

i did the same thing, because i didnt tighten the two ends together on it and it was tighter in the head than on the hose, got it out with a long long pair of needle nose pliers.

Id whack the hose off and then use needlenose visegrip pliers.

As far as im concerned needlenose visegrips, could darn near assemble a entire car......lol

Once you get the hose out of the way the visegrips can crunch down on it and should grip enough to twist it out.

Gotta use real visegrip brand tho... Ive found all the others are junk.

He's right, I used a pair of visegrips to hold on my distributor, was on there good and strong till I pulled the motor, there is nothing wrong with vise grips. :P
