Put rubber gloves on both hands and TWIST.
One time recently, I screwed a polarizing filter onto the front of a rubber 
lens hood, and they got stuck, and  there wasn't enough of a surface for me to 
grip this way, since the outer part of the polarizing filter turns freely. I 
had to gently but firmly grab the filter with a large set of channel grip 
pliers. I got them apart, but scratched the edge of the filter. (Noth the 
glass, 
just the edge).
