Suggestions?

I used a paper towel to help with the grip. I bought the fram one from wally world too and it did want to come off so I went to autozone and got that one. Both didn't work but I was returning it to go get the vise grip type and the clerk at autozone suggested a rag.

Sometime the simplest things work. Hope this helps.
