I actually had trouble gettimg mine off, and it started to mar the end a bit. So I went to Sear and bought one of those new "wrenches" that looks like a long rubber band with a plastic handle (also looks like an oil filter wrench) and it worked like a charm. It even work tightening the tele style nut with out having to get a tele stock wrench.

"Strap wrench" Oil filter type costs about $5, one from a gun stof\re for doing these jobs costs $30. Same wrench, easy choice.

Thanks Norm. I'm glad someone got what I was saying. Actually it was on sale at sears. I got 2 (one larger one and one smaller one) for 20 bucks. Now if only I had known about this thing when I was installing my shower heads.
