Having a hard time getting the Manfrotto 128RC head off the tripod it came with. I'm using channel lock pliers to hold the tripod base but the head just keeps turning round and round. Any tips? What am I missing.

Yes, there was 1. I managed to get it off. I had to tighten the center adjuster. It came off after I did that.

Glad that was it. Most Manfrotto tripods have one or more set screws. Sometimes the opposite problem occurs; the head will wobble or spin when the screw is not tight or has fallen out.
