I Thought This Was Pressed Into The Block, Is There An Allen Key In The Center Or A Hex For A Wrench On The Out Side?

If you want to keep the threaded pipe, get 2 nuts the same size as the thread, tighten them against each other on the pipe, and unbolt it.

If you don't need it, clamp on the vice grips & loosen it out.

Negatory. Just use a micrometer & measure the pipe, then go to NAPA & get a couple diff metric nuts.... they're like a nickel per nut.
