Message	Or a set of these things, which worked alright for me with a helper. I pressed down on the head with one hand, turned the knob with the other and had a helper slip a small flat tip under the back of the ring when I had it pulled in tight. If you're going to go the plier route make sure you get something with a 45 or 90 head and long handles so you can get enough leverage.
