The insert is rotating. Unfortunately the insert is a left hand thread. Look
for the rectangle shaped notches between insert and the exhaust port. You may
be able to drill a small hole thru the exhaust port and insert and drill a hardened
steel pin into them to lock it in place. Then try heating the collar/insert
with a portable propane tank flame. Then using the pin spanner, try loosening
the collar from the insert. You can also try cutting the collar off the
insert which will require replacing that exhaust section. If this fails, all
I know to do is remove the cylinder and send it to an M14 engine shop. They will
remove the old insert and install a new one. You will still most likely have
to replace the exhaust section.
Someone else may have other recommendations.

You have to retake the threaded portion to the cylinder.
