I need to lube the seal on my X fusion dropper post , USA tech dept says its Ok to take it off & grease, but I cant get any purchase to unscrew it. Its about 30mm dia. and a smooth anodized surface. Have tried a pipe wrench and tyre bodge but no shifty. Any ideas of using general things around the garage ? Don’t really want to use the vice for fear of crushing.
It’s the red bit-
Vice with soft jaws?
ONe of those things for old folks to open jam jars?
Drill a small hole below and grease gun?
Ask the distributors how it should be done?
+1 for al's suggestion, strap wrench should see it off ok.
Not a left hand thread is it? Probably not, but it's worth checking!
Boa wrench?
Or cut Vs in 2 blocks of wood and use those between the vice and shaft
a small memac will shift that - if you have one in your shed your a better man than i 
What type of places sell strap wrenches, DIY / OAP shops ?
B&Q
+1 for boa wrench - most DIY or motor mechanics shops will have them inc Halfrauds as you can use them for taking oil filters off 
I can ride to B&Q on the way home 
Any luck? I need to do the seals on mine - also, did you get the red collar separately or with the post? Bling!
Also you can use them for opening stubborn air cans on rearshocks.
