If it's like a Camaro, it simply unscrews--give it a manly grunt

I used a pair of vice grips on the **** to get enough leverage to turn it.

once I did that, came right off. Before that... I couldnt get the damn thing to budge.

Vice grips will destroy the ****

If it keeps slipping in your hands, try some heavy rubber gloves, like dish gloves

Grunt n groan, it will come off
