I always say that anything can be accomplished with just these 4 tools:
Hammer,
Vice-grip pliers,
Duct tape and,
Credit card.
Use the hammer & Vice-grip pliers to dismantle, then Duct tape to repair, and finally use the credit card to replace the item that you just royally screwed up!
Dude, you don't need 4, you only need 3.
If your vice-grips aren't big enough to use as a hammer, you need bigger vice-grips.
Otherwise--yeah, totally agree. And to be honest, I actually do use 4 tools myself.
Not the hammer thing, but I have one vice-grip for standard and a second for metric.

I just looked up a picture, I see what your saying. Hopefully you can figure something out.

Vinh,
You need one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-6-JAW-SEL...003-TIR-new-/180933510562?hash=item2a207a45a2
Wrap the light body with good duct tape, two wraps minimum, then show the light, who's boss. Just hope they aren't using a left hand thread.
Also, if you can see where the seam is between the head and the body, dribbling in some MEK will break most thread lockers free. Caution, MEK is a very potent solvent. Do not purchase the substitute MEK product.
$300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vinh, if $300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gets you upset, then you wouldn't want to purchase any machine tools.
Purchase some of the MEK solvent and an eye dropper and find the seam on the head where it's screw together. Drop some solvent in and use two strap wrenches.
One of my machine vises cost $1400, the others around $600. Price a Kurt D810 or the smaller D688. $300 is a bargain.

Vinh,
The $300 with almost as many exclamation points appeared to be like WOW, need to find another way to open this thing.
Maybe you could take two pieces of hardwood and use a hole saw the diameter of the light area you want to hold, then clamp that into your bench vise.
Make sure to use plenty of tape to keep from marring the finish.
If you were here on the east coast, I'd let you use my lathe to clamp the light in and then use the strap wrench.
There's a company named SHARS, that markets lathe chucks as well as index holders. You can change from vertical to horizontal. I didn't find one on eBay, but they normally have them for about the same amount of money.
MSCDirect has this http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/08560385 for under $200, but you have to center the work piece up inside.

Be careful with those lathe chucks,the through hole diameter is usually only 1.5 to 2" depending on the size of the chuck.
I like the hardwood idea make the hole,cut the hardwood in half divideng the hole in half,use bench vise to squeeze the light in the wood hole.
Of course talk is cheap.

Perhaps you could track down a sprag clutch with the proper dimensions and remember the inside ring
if it scratches turn it into a nice V54 engraving design!
