[Leica] Stuck Filter

[vick.ko at sympatico.ca (Vick Ko)]

Have you tried squeezing them between two stiff boards with rubber pads?
e.g. wooden drink coaster / rubber sheet / filter / rubber sheet / 
wooden drink coaster and then twisting?

The flaw with holding at a couple points and twisting is that the rims 
bend, and bind.

When you say "got them wet", did you mean with some lubricant? Some 
fluids make it bind.

Good luck

Vick
