Take a pick, scrape some of the dirt/ corrosion out, maybe some compressed air if you have some. Then Spay a lil penetrating oil around it, clamp on it with some curved jaw vice grips. Gently torque it back and forth. Literally like 1-2° forward, then 1-2°backward, rinse repeat.  Don't try to torque it too far. It also helps to use your other hand to help with the movement or even wiggle from side to side.  Curved jaw or v jaw vice grips work best for this.  They apply contstant tension to more of the pipe circumference which equal more grip. Eventually the baked in seals and corrosion will begin to give way. Just be patient...unless you can source a replacement drain tube quickly.

Mrhighcaliber is correct. It’s in there tight but just keep pulling. My front tube already had signs of being pulled on with pliers/vice grips so I grabbed on and twisted and pulled.
My rear one came out with no problem.
