This is the one I use.(pic)
They can be really tight, or some sod has superglued it in place. Try a kettle of boiling water over the area first(carefully poured) that can free it up a bit. Otherwise its just a case of struggle.
You can also hammer it off, though it does cause damage to the lockring. Not a flat screwdriver as the flat bit really tears the hole edge, so something that fits in they tap it till it moves.
It will turn eventually, and ive done loads and though it is a job of work, and unless superglued, they do come off.

I'll try again later on, I made a peg spanner out of an angle grinder spanner/key thing. Just made the pins a touch smaller to fit. I'll try the boiling water as a couple o fgood folk have suggested
