Ive done 66 and 67s.I would think they are similar.
On the back side there is a thin walled casing it unscrews counterclockwise.
I have a socket for sending units that fits.
I usually have to use the handles of a pair of Channel Locks in the Lighter port to keep it from rotating.

Here are a couple of picks, easier when your not upside down! One assembled- one all apart. Just gotta grab the metal stud (lightly w/ vice grips) where the single wire hooks up to spin the outer sleeve. Maybe some lube but make sure to 100% get it off before re intall.

Remember that "righty tighty, lefty loosey" is REVERSED when you are working on the back side of the item. That is to say, if your head is aft of the dash and you are facing forward, you will need to turn the lighter casing nut part "clockwise" from your point of view.
I usually use a thumb to hold the receptacle still, or I have found that the handle of a Craftsman nut driver fit it well.
"Clean the lube off" I would not agree with. While you don't want a LOT of spooge to heat and drip and catch fire, I think a THIN COAT of silicone [dielectric] grease would make future service easy.
