I"m sure not everyone would be as lucky as me but I was able to get
some pliers on mine and with minimal force to remove the unit. Since I
was replacing it what did I care if I screwed up...but others may be
reusing it. Very little torque should be needed.

I couldn't even get my 29mm on it due to the way it set behind the
opening. What a pain!
