Yep, as long as any PO didnt mess with it, it's threaded on, righty tighty. Try putting some thick rubber bands around it for some extra grip.

edit: damn, wabbit beat me to the righty tighty

Get the girlfriend/wife to do it. Mine was tight! I was twisting and grabbing and tubbing and doing anything. I was twisting the correct way too (counter clockwise) she comes over and just twists it off.

I loosened it for her, though.
