I had the same problem...this is what I did....1 remove the compression fittings so you don't damage them, lay reserator on the floor and using a large channel lock pliers grab the base and unscrew it.... I leld the reserator still by sitting on it and wrap your leather belt around the base to protect it from the jaws of the pliers.
