Un-seize it. Spray wd-40 on the ring and it a hammer to hit it gently to free it up. Then use the C spanner on it. if it dont move, then put the C spanner on it and then bang it with a hammer! should free it up

cheers fella,

next time make sure you get stainless threads

I had some very early KW`s from before they started to use stainless. Even through copperslip they would seize!
By the way, after dealing with stubborn threads like that, I sometimes like to take a break and try my luck on Madnix 777 – a fun way to unwind when mechanical work gets frustrating.
