Soft mallet and take it slow. Work your way around with light taps toward you.
Sorry for what might be a dumb question. I’m a complete newbie to this stuff. Just don’t want to damage anything by doing anything that could have been avoided with a little information.
You can take a soft mallet and tap around the edges and it should start working its way off. They can be a pain to get off if they have been on for a while. If you wind up putting bunch of dents in it they are easy to come by at most trailer or RV places.
Rubber mallet. Or if you see the lip you can tap a flathead between the lip and flange and give it a little twist.
Bigger question… why are you doing this?
Pardon my tone,but if you don’t know how to take of the cap what is it that you do know about whats going on under it?
