Did you spin it counter clockwise to remove it? I was able to move mine about an inch clockwise but that's it.

as you can see they are very fine threads, i sprayed some WD into the glass area to help release,,took a while but finally worked its way loose, the ring with the small hole in it sits inside the outer trim ring, it holds the glass into place, your trying to remove the BEAUTY RING i do beleive mine had 2 set screws in the bottom of the bucket holding both rings in

you should have 2 set screw at least. you will have an outer trim ring and a inner trim ring. The outer is smooth with no grooves in it to get ahold of and can be a PITA to remove , the chrome can get flaked around the threads. a little bit of WD 40 and work it back and forth should get it moving. the back ring "inner trim ring" I use a allen wrench to remove.

We have the tool you need to remove the beauty ring. It works 99% of the time. Give us a call tomorrow and I'll let you borrow it. It's a clutch pressure plate with a chunk of tire intertube wrapped around the outside of it to grip it. It's the only one we have, so we will need it back ASAP. If for whatever reason it won't work, (some dipshit using loctite on the threads) I'll send you a new beauty ring. C.A.Jones V-Twin | Custom Builds, Parts & Service

Yes it is I put duct tape inside out on my fingers so the sticky part was on the beauty ring and broke it loose:

Good deal. Did you put any antiseize on the threads before threading back in? Should help for the next time.
