Yeah some needle nosed vise grips will work, and it definitely helps to open the bleeder valve to bleed off some pressure. Also, you can buy a little cube shaped tool that attaches to a socket wrench that will do it. Im sure they are fairly cheap, but the autozone tool kit is nice, it pushes while turning if you feel like shelling out $40 bucks for a few hours until you return it.
