Stuck Showerhead

I want to change a shower head and it simply will not budge. I've used all the correct tools-it's probably threaded incorrectly.

I've also tried to change the whole arm and showerhead and will not budge either.

Are there any tricks to losen the arm or showerhead?

HELP! It's such an easy thing to do and I've become very frustrated.

Thanks,
Pudsmom

If the shower arm, (curved goose neck) comes out also then replace them both. Don't forget to tape the threads with Teflon Tape. Good luck, Tom
