I use a nice pry bar that I got from Sears as a set of three. If you don't have these small prybars you are doing things the hard way. If you do have them getting this cap off is a breeze. Simply pry against the lip of the cap from either side once or twice and it pops off. No more cursing, no more beating on it with a hammer. That's my advice.
