I'm guessing it's just two nuts locked against each other, and you need special wrenches.

only thing that comes to mind is there are some bolts or something locking them in place you need to loosen :dunno:

for example; my brother's gc has a set of bolts you need to loosen with an allen wrench before you can move the perch.
