If you are trying to unscrew it for the first time then YYF screws them really tight so just give it some muscle and it should comply and if you just can’t get it open then get someone stronger to help and if that dosen’t work then send it back to whatever site you got it from and ask for another, they should be glad to help. Hope it gets resolved. ---
