Do you need to clean that aluminum tube? Those brass nuts should unscrew with minimal effort. You need to make sure you have a wrench on the other side to keep everything still. | ||

1/8" Aluminum pilot feed tube Give the top nut a little squirt of penetrating oil, it will unscrew easily and if you do destroy it it is easy to replace.
A new pilot assembly would be great [ good luck finding one ] next best thing take it off the range and put it in a mild acid and let it soak and carefully clean it by blowing with compressed air etc, this often gets these to work again.

Thanks for all your responses. I'll try some PB blaster on it tonight and let you know how I make out! The "professional" didn't trust the built-in oven shut-off valve (that I confirmed was working and offered to turn myself) because it was "old". Ridiculous!! | ||
