Try taking out the to fillport nut and then twist.

It's stuck because both top and bottom of the res have rubber washers which hold the glass in place nice and tight.

The first times always a bitch as they say.

Try more force if you can.

They are built like a brick shit house so you don't have to worry about being too gentle with them. Not sure about boiling it hahaha.
