tried it all. smacking the living snot out of it last night just didnt do a god damn thing. i think someone has tightened it right down in its life and its done its business now and stuck.

i shall swap the crap rubber o ring with a nice viton one to stop any oil & rubber related swelling so that will help no end

If you can get hold of a dremel or similar, cut a slot like a screwdriver head into it, then use an old chisel to turn it. Or....drill a 2 or 3 mm hole near the edge ( dont go right through, just a couple of mm deep will do ) then you can knock it round with a hammer and punch.
