Yours may be glued on mate. You could always try and cut it off but I'd advise not too just in case you accidently damage your rod in the process. Try putting it in some hot water for a few minutes, then drying it and then try to pull and twist. Worked for me the last time mine got stuck on me rod.

Amazing what household items can provide leverage... of sorts!

Great idea though, more to the point, it worked and its sorted now.
