There is a repair kit available for that part. Since it is designed to be non- removable, I would assume you can repair it in place.
Your other option, depending on what's wrong with the first one, could be to just screw another vacuum breaker onto the existing one without removing it.
If all else fails, I think you're going to be cutting it off with an angle grinder, dremel, or similar.
