Most of you seem to be missing the fact that 911 dust caps (AKA grease caps) have a lip meant to be used for prying them off. Guess you spoke before you looked, huh? Happens a lot here .....................

I have used "PB Blaster" penetrant in the past to help loosen things up a bit. You can pick up a can at most any auto parts store department.
