Probably just stuck. Dist doesn't need to come out. Use something to try and pry it up to break it loose.

EGR tube. Heavy use of chemicals, and possibly heat...... and the right size wrench.

From the exhaust manifold..... not sure which is easier to get at though.... take yer pick. See if you can get a new one for not much money, and if so, just cut it.

Keep a CO2 fire extinguisher handy.... Or, if you can find a new one, just cut it, deal with it later. Exhaust flows thru there, so, the fittings tend to corrode, and basically weld themselves together....
