Leo,
If Doug's method doesn't work (my guess is off the camera; you wouldn't want 
to stress the camera mount), try putting the filter end of the lens on a 
rubberized pad on the table (I use a mouse pad) and try different levels of 
pressure. Sometimes you find that after a few tries, with less pressure it 
comes off.
Otherwise, I have no other suggestions other than going to your dealer or 
sending it to a repair person.
Good luck; I know how frustrating it can be. Used to happen often with 
Hasselblad filters.
Best,

Douglas,

Is this with the lens mounted on a camera or off?
