Mike, Try using one of those rubber pads used for opening bottle lids to give you more grip. If that doesn't work try a strap-wrench. If that doesn't work say two Hail Mary's or pray to Allah before heating the base with a Butane torch and have another go at it with the strap-wrench:).

I have had a stainless one since before I even got the car. The knob won't budge and I don't want to damage anything in doing it - any suggestions?
