If you have trouble getting the bonnet to turn, wrap a hand towel or flexible rubber pot holder around it to protect the finish and you can use a wrench to turn it. They sell some things specifically for plumbing that have a rubber strap that are for turning things without clamping too hard/breaking the, but I've had trouble with them getting a tight enough grip to not slip.
or you can use a bicycle innertube like this guy.
