In the case where the tube comes out of the set with the shield still on it: I've used a nutdriver that has a hollow portion that will accommodate the nipple without touching it. Nutdriver business end goes atop the top of the tube, at the nipple. Then you should be able to slide the shield upwards with respect to the tube, towards the handle of the nutdriver. A small piece of electrical tape, with a hole for the nipple, can be placed on the nutdriver face to lessen the stress from metal to glass contact (I always got away without this, seems tube glass is fairly tough).
