Heat it for 20 minutes.... with a blow torch. I turned mine so hard thought it was moving but actually the pipe was turning. I kinked the tube and had to buy another EGR tube from ford... cost me like 50$.

Honestly, i forget exactly it was over a year ago. I think they both turn. I know the one on the EGR tube does.
