Hi Matt,
Welcome to the forum - hope we can help.
The bottom of the bail has a threaded stud that sticks up towards the bowl, and carried the piece that secures the bowl. This piece has a finger wheel on it which 'might' turn without breaking off the stud. If it doesn't turn easily, pry the upper ends of the bail out of the pump body - you'll then be able to soak it in a penetrant to loosen it up.
Many of us have changed to electric fuel pumps which don't use the settling bowl. The bowl is not needed, and is just a source for a leak (not uncommon). The settling bowl is just steel, it corrodes, and makes getting a good seal rather 'iffy'. Gas leaks are not good.
