      If you have a heat gun you could try heating the powertube first, some of those tips are a real pain if they havent been removed in a long time. If you try pliers or vise-grips use a peice of rubber or something between them so you dont scratch the parts. Good Luck

        I had the same problem w/ my minimag, it was a *****, and for a while i was afaid i was gonna do damage to my tip, but what i did was used a nickle (cause it's think so won't bend, i bent a quater as well) and clamped the coin in a pair of vise grips to take it off, then just retightened it w/ just the coin so it wouldn't be so hard in the future, haven't had any problems w/ it since.
