if I follow;
when I encounter such a task, I put the coil INTO its own base,
then thread the 510 of that base into an old kanger base (fits 510 threading perfect!)

I had the same problem even after watching Cheech's video. I think Cheech is a wizard or practitioner of some dark art that I can't grasp.
I spent hours Sunday afternoon trying to rebuild a 1.5 coil for the first time. Utter fail. First, I couldn't get the outer can off. Pulled, twisted, begged and invented new cuss words. No go. Came back to it a little while later and gently grasped it with pliers again, and it slipped right off. Still not sure how I did it.
Long story short, I eventually got it built and put back together, but cannot get the outer tank to fit back properly. I suspect I damaged it. Anyway, got it on well enough to test it on an ohm meter. It started at 1.81, then as I watched, it gradually started dropping down to the lower .7 level. Obviously, not stable.
I'm not giving up but have moved away for a few days because it was enormously frustrating.
Oh, one positive. I got the 325x325 mesh Monday. Cut it and it slipped right in with no problem. So, that's one thing I can do, at least.
ETA: Just for clarification. My fine motor skills have deteriorated to the point that working in close quarters with a small object is very challenging. Anything requiring a steady hand is difficult. I won't quit, though. It's important that I find a way to do this.
Thanks for that simple picif I follow;

I finally got a coil apart without ruining it. Now if I can get by the next step..............
5X #325x325 3"x3" Stainless Steel Mesh Cloth Twill Atty Vaporizer Wick USACould use a link to some mesh of the best size
Or this one Fran. Size depends on what ratio you're vaping. (lower the numbers for thicker juices with more VG).

Thank you much I'm usually 50/50 or 60/40 on my juice so not real thick.

When removing the cap, a gentle rocking back and forth with the inverted tank will gently coax
the cap off. The first time is a little tough as they use a lot of pressure to press it on. It's a lot
easier to take on and off after the first time.
Replacing the cap, I push down while making a rotating motion.

So which mesh do you think? The 325 or 350?
To tell you the truth Fran, go with the lowest number.
I ran several tests on various thicknesses of juice and found that 325-350 was best.
If you do use the lower number mesh and find it may flood a bit,
you can always double the mesh to prevent this. But I'm betting it won't happen.
Once installed, the mesh need never be removed, even if it's doubled.
400-500 did not provide smooth wicking with the higher VG juice in my tests.
I haven't recommended any rebuilding tips on the Air coils that I didn't extensively test
to insure it worked consistently. I had taken down my mesh blog when I encountered some
issues that the lower numbered mesh solved. So whether you use 50/50 PG/VG or 90/10 like
I do, the 325 or 350 will work fine.
Well, it looks like L/Vapes is out of the 325, so the other option is: 5X #325x325 3"x3" Stainless Steel Mesh Cloth Twill Atty Vaporizer Wick USA

Down towards the bottom of Mr. Cheech's blog, you will find a very easy way to remove the cap. I also have some problems with Arthur Itis, but I have no problem taking the cap off this way.
That's exactly where I bought mine! He really packages it great so it comes to you nice and smooth!
