Yes. I've tried turning it both directions and it won't go either way.
Bummer. :(

I'd suggest a little heat... heat gun, or even hair dryer if you have one. Might permit the ring to expand at a slightly greater rate than the body and loosen it up - that's assuming that a "tight spot" is the issue.
An alternative might be, if the threads are slightly galled, which can happen easily with plated and/or dissimilar metals, would be get yourself a can of "PB Blaster" penetrating lubricant.

I've had my atty get locked onto my top cap before and I sprayed some WD-40 on it and after about 2 minutes, it unscrewed. Give that a try before reaching for wrenches.

Didnt even think about that im so used to vv/vw forget no wires to worry about so spay it and then wash it off.
Goop tip guppy
