I tried using a pipe wrench and going counterclockwise but it is not coming off (tried the other way also). It is plastic and tiny bits are flaking off when I tried to remove. How should I get it off and is turning it counterclockwise the way to loosen it. Thanks.

I know the righty tighty saying. I just can't visualize it. I want the answer in clockwise/counterclockwise direction terms please.

If it is stuck (or I'm too weak), is there anything that will loosen it. As I said it is plastic and has been on there sometime. They are replacing my sink and I need to get this off.

If you're looking down to the faucet, it's clockwise. if you're looking up at the opening of the faucet, it's counter-clockwise. It's confusing....good luck.

Counterclockwise = Lefty Loosey
Clockwise = Righty Tighty

CCW. Note that the ring on the filter floats and you must work the filter bsck n forth a bit to get it started.
