Hi!

Once happened the same to my 17-85.
Happened to my wife's Oly 70-300, too.

I weared a pair rubber gloves, grabbed the filter with one hand and the lens with the the other one and unscrewed both. It was very easy.
BTW: about the gloves, don't use thin ones, like the medichal or home versions, but use the industrial or construction type. It's safe from the broken glass. You can buy it from any tool store.
Sometimes, I wear the same type of gloves to open jam jars. I have an extra pair in the car to change tires.
