Did the AB come in a box? It should have a small wrench to go with it. Usually the AB comes packed in a blue foam insert. In that foam insert there should be a cut or a slit in the blue foam and the wrench could be wedged in there or look underneath the foam.
Be really careful like Oats said. You do not want to overtighten this small piece or it will snap. So all you have to do is snug it down to where it just stops. I wouldn't use any other tool except the wrench that it came with.
If yours didn't come with it then I'm almost sure that Don, Dixie, or Iwata themselves can get you one. Like Oats said , alot of times you do not have to pull this off, also very easy to lose, but I do once a week just because I have this OCD thing!LOL! I usually clean it with plain dental floss. I work it through the bigger opening with a toothpick until it just pokes through the small end and drench it in laquer thinner or whatever you clean it with and pull it through. Cleans it really well
Let us know whats up. I have a few of these wrenches around, if you need one, somwhere.
Good luck!
