If it still won't budge, try pushing it further on rather than pulling it off. Twist at the same time to break its seal, then pull it off once it starts moving.

This is because pulling makes the tube longer and thinner (ie tighter) but pushing makes it shorter and wider.

Hot water can soften things up - shouldn't be necessary tho.

I feel like a military academy. Bits of me keep passing out.
