    Vacuflush duckbill replacement

    I have a pair of VG2 vacuum generators on my boat. Both have been untouched for 17 years since new and one of the systems is starting to leak vacuum. The VG2 has a pair of duckbills on either side of the vacuum generator pump. How do you guys back out the male coupler with solid threads on the vacuum tank side in between the 2 duckbills? The only thing I can find on the Google is a guy that just grabs the center of the threads with a pair of channel locks. There must be a more elegant solution than playing Russian roulette with the coupler threads. If was a smaller threaded rod I would use 2 nuts locked on the end but this looks like its 1.5" in diameter. Number 19 in the diagram.

    Thanks,

    George
