I wouldn't mess up the cover by using a pipe wrench. Several years ago I made 3 sets of special tools to work on shocks. I sold one set on ebay, sold one set to Jim Sinclair in Wisconsin, and kept one set for myself. If you do a search for "tools for working on shocks" you might get lucky and find some pictures. The all steel strap wrench I made to remove the covers won't leave marks.

BTW, Jim used his tools to work on his shocks, and the last I knew he has his set of tools for sale.
