Mine have always broke when trying to get them apart, IIRC they are made of pot metal, easy to break. You're lucky yours come out without an issue, lol. I usually just install a normal nipple instead of using that thing again.

Although I did save my original, I’m also seriously considering using this instead.

I mean it came out without snapping off in the intake manifold. I already had a new fitting and hose I was just preparing to have to use the lisle tool to get the broken fitting out of the intake manifold but luckily it twisted right out. The last 2 I did broke right off.

If I were you - I'd go buy a lottery ticket! Everyone of those I've monkeyed with has been a pain. Not all of them snapped off - but until it's out, you are just waiting for it too!!!
