so I have a small problem, which is that my Tilt hydrometer rolled onto the floor and it looks like something (one of the weights) dislodged

So I wanted to crack it open and see if i could repair it. But despite wearing gloves and employing the strength of 30 men or more, I cannot get the screw cap to turn. Anyone know of a knack to it?

Every video I've seen shows a tilt with two screw ends so can't find instructions with my version
 
I used a small wrench in the end, as much as I like my tilt opening the cap to change the battery is a complete pain. Just received I didn’t break anything.
