Just use your muscles man. Its REALLY hard 2 get off the first time, but after a few times, piece of piss. I'm constantly straightening mine, but I'm an anal c*nt!!

get the plumbers wrench out

+ 1 for plumers wrench. Get vice grips or nething like that. Not like ur gunna be using it again anytime soon. Who cares if you bugger it up getting it off. Get Hacksaw and cut it off. G clamp and crush it a bit might free it up.

lol, thats it, all ya need is a bit of leverage and she'll come off

[dermy]

well i got it off and i also didnt detroy it just had 2 use some brute force and it slowly started to move

yeah man mine was tight the first time, but its so loose now i had to drop a bit of araldite on the thread, i just use vice grips to undo it everytime i need to, clean the thread out with hot water and a paddlepop stick and then re-araldite it when im doing it back off...

i only goto to extremes because i had a nasty experience where my gearknob was so loose i just pulled it straight off coming down from warp speed and into the back of another dudes ute not happy jan.
