Is it metal or plastic?

If metal try GENTLY heating the thread, the metal will shrink a tiny bit and then it should shift.

If that fails give it to a chick. They always have that knack of getting lids of jam jars!

jesus christ.. did you cross-thread it when you screwed it back on? I mean if you got it on there you should be able to get it off.

maybe take your skirt off.

Heating metal makes it expand.

Spray a little WD-40 in the gap at the top of the thread and let it sit for half an hour, then spray a little more then wait again then try.
The WD-40 will work down and lube it up nicely. It also wont do any damage to electrics though I wouldn't go pumping it into the capsule. Also, I take no responsibility for anything. ;)

Wouldn't WD40 bugger the capsule ?

Stick the mic in the airing cupboard for a couple of hours to warm it , then try .
