Adapter Ring Pentax

How do you remove a Pentax M42 screw-mount adapter from a Ricoh KR-5 Super?
I have a Ricoh KR-5 Super that was given to me that is inoperable. I have another one that works. I want to remove the adapter ring (Pentax) and put it on the working camera so I can use the lenses with the M42 screw-mount ends and I don't want to break it!!! How do I properly remove the adapter ring so I can put it on the other camera? Thank you!
I believe it should be fairly easy to remove - somebody had to put it on there so the procedure must be the reverse of that. The KR-5 is Pentax K bayonet mount, the adapter ring fits inside it. I do have a local camera shop that can help me with this but I like to do things for myself if I can.
I think I found it here: http://www.mosphotos.com/PentaxScrewmountLensAdapter.html
Original owner was a smoker, she passed away and her brother inherited it, and he left it in his car... for TWO YEARS... or so he says... so it might just be stuck - thanks!
Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Yes it's that simple. No, it doesn't come off easily all the time. That's what happens when two metal mounts get in contact for a long time. I have a small vice grip permanently attached to my workbench for this purpose. Wear extra thick electrician's gloves or use a hammer and old flat screwdriver to loosen the adapter a bit. Yes, even with my vice grip, I still sometimes have to use the hammer.
I tried permanently gluing the adapter to my dSLR but I have discovered that no glue is strong enough to hold on to a heavy Jupiter 80mm lens.
