green arrow dome part should unscrew can be tight so might need something to grip it that wont damage it
 
Try wrapping very roughly a few turns of electric insulating tape on the above part so your hand gets a really good grip.
Or a strap wrench (plastic handle with rubber strap type wrench) might grip it
