WD40? Soapy water? They're a PITA, but just takes some effort.

hmm if you spray it w. enough lube it's really really easy to take it off if you put your thumbs on the "big cone cap" and then the rest of your fingers pushing behind the hanger and it'll slip right off

wd40 for the win. let it soak a lil bit then with a couple twists you should have it out.

Forget WD40 or Pam its called 2 screwdrivers and 30sec to a minute a piece. I got this crap down!! But if you want wear gloves to not hurt your knuckles just in case and put some back into it.
