Since the capillary tube is soldered to the sending unit you can not use heat to remove it. Try liberal amounts of penetrating oil, let it soak and then try it again. If you do damage the sending unit in trying to remove it from the cylinder head, you can purchase a complete new water temperature gauge and sending unit assembly from the Filling Station. www.fillingstation.com The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"
