It is actually known as the "Damn" Tube. But that is a different issue. 
You need to heat the Block and the tube up to 250°C (475°F) to get the Locktite to soften.
Good luck With That!!! Don't even try it !!!
The only reason to remove it is if you are going to replace it anyway.
Grap the tube just above the block with a big pair of channel locks and squeeze.
As the Tube Crushes will tear away from the inside of the hole and come out.
Clean out the old residue with Acetone or Toluene if you do not want to buy the official Locktite 768 Solvent (Nitromethane, $$$)
