Mine unscrewed very easliy, there was no loctite or anything. I used the bottom of my mouse pad. Just lay the mouse pad upside down on a table and push the flashlight bezel down on the rubber and unscrew. There are other ways but that's what I have done.

On a somewhat similar note, I have a Mag 2AA light and tail cap simply would not unscrew. I have used WD40 with no luck. Should I heat it up? Any suggestions?

I don't know if heat would work. I ran into the same problem once with a minimag and since it was the tailcap that is supposed to screw and unscrew regularly I chalked it up to galling? I got so fed up I actually used two pliers (It was an old beat up MM I was going to throw it away anyways) and I still could not get the tailcap off. Don't know what to suggest.
