Stuck Top

[ratbastard]

I just received a nice seltzer bottle in the mail. inside needs to be cleaned. seems the top is stuck and it won't come off. i can turn it a bit but nothing else. i think the two piece ring might be fused to the top that has the stem. Before i break it anyone have any ideas on how to remove the top ?

Thanks

You need to use pliers to hold the bottom ring still while unscrewing the top.. if it's 'fused' try some WD40.. good luck..!

tried to hold both pieces with channel locks after using WD 40. no luck getting it apart so i'll leave it as is because if i mess with it much more it will break. that's how my luck goes these days.
