I second the freezing idea, but if that doesn't work, go out to the hardware store and buy yourself a small "strap wrench", which is a tool used by plumbers for getting a rock tight grip on stuck pipes. If you can secure the strap wrench onto the DID (make sure it's gripping onto the knurling as best as you can get it), then it should make unscrewing the stuck parts much easier.
I picked up one almost identical to this at Home Depot for $12 I think, and it's paid for itself tenfold b/c I didn't have to risk using pliers wrapped in taped to get a good grip on PV parts, which I've destroyed several GG parts by doing so, including 2 ody tanks, a UFS top cap, several UFS body extensions, and a GGTS native ody base (pliers ate up the threads something gnarly). It takes me multiple screw-ups to change my tactics sometimes....

Thanks Rick I appreciate the info not sure it will work in my case because the connector from the Roller has unscrewed from the mod and is now stuck to the male 510 on the did so I need to get a grip on the connector which is pretty much all threads.
I used an adjustable pipe wrench on mine. Clamped the jaws on the outer edge of the roller .....not the threads. Twisted the DID and held the pipe wrench.
You might also want to disassemble the DID down to the just the 510 plate and the + post. Sometimes my DIDs stick to my Caravela top cap if I screw the + contact in too tight, and I've found that it actually creates a little vacuum in between the two pieces, but when I remove the + post from the caravela top cap, the two separate without any resistance. So maybe wiggling the + post might be enough to break the seal? If you go this route, be sure to not damage your + post!
Thanks all,I think the stainless steel threads have bitten into the brass roller connector as it was tight screwing it down.
Well on the bright side, I guess you have a hybrid of sorts now

Yeah its kind of married to the Did at the moment , I have another connector coming so I might have to really attack it with the pliers , I just don't want to damage the threads on the DID
I did see that about the roller even in a review it happen. Not a big fan of that type of design.

I can get it off the Roller its just the connector comes with it, I have another connector coming it just means that unless I can get it off the DID I will only be able to use the did on the roller.
Can you upload a photo of it so I have a better idea of how it's all fused together, that might help us work out another solution for you if freezing it fails.
