AE80 Handset Question

I've never worked on an AE desk set before, so it's all new to me. I recently acquired an AE80 and I cannot for the life of me get the handset caps off. It looks as though it is all one unit but I've seen them opened before and seen the caps and shells sold separately, so what am I doing wrong? It sounds like the handset is going to break the harder I twist, so I've given up and decided to come ask the pros.

 Nilsog ,
            Try using the hair dryer. Heat them up real good, but not hot enough to melt them. If that won't work I have put 3 in 1 oil around the threads and let it soak overnight and heat again .  Good Luck
