The **** is very hard to get off because it's been on there 20 years--a strap wrench is your best bet, or if you're replacing it & don't care if you bung it up, a pipe wrench will do.

I wrapped mine with that rubbery tool box liner material ( about 4 wraps) then used a pipe wrench. Didn't mar the ball at all.

I was trying to remove mine this summer during the interior resto but couldnt get the push button **** off and felt I was going to break something so I let it go.
The ball was turning up but would hit the push ****.
Does this push button screw off CCW too?
