un-screwing acoustic zen cables


My Acoustic Zen interconnects have become impossible to remove from my components! The scew-up end-of-cable plugs just will not un-screw. Every single connection has the same problem. I'm now not sure which way to twist to undo them. I've tried pliars and WD40. Nothing will release them. Any similar experiences? Any ideas on how to take off the cables?

I've had so much trouble, the sockets on the pre-amp and CDP are becoming loosened from the cabinet - and one has been damaged :(

Thanks for any help!

Here is the Locking Rca instructions for Acoustic Zen cables, these instructions will ship with all interconnects in the near future.
I HOPE THIS IS OF HELP!

Locking RCA instructions.
Prior to installing your new Acoustic Zen
Interconnect, we recommend you to read
Our installation procedures.

1.Once cable is removed from packaging, Completely
loosen all four RCA barrels by unscrewing them in a
counter clockwise fashion.

2.Install interconnects, make sure to follow the directional flow of the Interconnect. The directional flow Is indicated on the heat shrink of the interconnect.

3.This is the last and most important step, tightening of the RCA barrels. Do not over tighten the RCA barrels!
Turn barrels slowly, clockwise until you feel a small
amount of resistance building (barrel becomes a bit more
difficult to turn).Once resistance is felt, Turn barrel an additional 1/4 turn. There is no need to tighten the barrels
anymore than this, doing so may result in damage to your equipment.
