    Seen this happen on my truck, took both hands but so far I haven't needed tools lol. Tightness was less apparent after I got one of these :D

    Lube up the threads and O-ring with motor oil the first time. I figure it's because metal on plastic is less likely to seize.

    I just searched for this same issue while outside with my truck and ran across this post...then I quickly felt like an idiot/pussy after reading the replies so I man'ed up and got it off.
