distribution block on 83/4 do the come off easily

[69340]

Had to change my brake line on the passenger side on 83/4 rear end. Unforunately i cross threaded the brake fitting for the line going to the passenger side from the distribution block. this is the block mounted on the rearend with a vent in the middle. i cant get a tap in to repair the threads no room. does this block come off easily, or should i use another block and leave this one mounted. any help would be great. i noticed there is a nut under the vent cap but mine is rounded were someone tried to remove before so i dont know if it will come loose.

the vent bolt takes a 9/16 wrench....vent just unscrews and the block can be removed..replaced...repaired...
