How in the heck does this thing come off? Tried pulling, pushing & unscrewing it both ways. I feel like i'm going to bust it into pieces if I keep hacking at it.

My **** unscrews in a counter clock wise direction. I would think yours does also unless it is non original, in which case I don't know how it comes off.

Thanks, I'll give it another twist. Perhaps I'll soak the middle with PB Blaster first.

One of those rubber strap wrenches might be what you need to get hold of one that hasn't been off in years.
