as above.

possibly tight because the last person might not have oiled the seal. just twist it as hard as you can even if you were going the wrong way i doubt youde be able to twist it hard enough to do damage.

i did that first time i serviced car after being told it would be really tight, got oil all over my face :sick:

this time i did it with just my hands, if its been well oiled you can normally get them off with hands
