    Oven lamp glass covers

    My parents and my oven both need new oven lamps but both mine and their glass lamp covers are completely stuck / cross threaded and won't come undone to get to the lamp. Is there a dang secret to get these glass covers off ? I don't want to force it and end up breaking the glass
