I do not recommend the twistingrotating method
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Instead expand the metal retract manually rotate a tiny degree and repeat until satisfied

The rotating method will definitely leave you with unsatisfactory results and may damage your lens

I found a beautiful lens that had a nasty dent on the filter ring
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I put a plastic baggie over the tool head and kept expanding it in steps until the filter ring would accept a filter
