Re: fuel cap

take a large flat head screwdriver and pry the top off of it. yes the cap will break. but the lower part of the cap will remain and then it can be unscrewed

or you can use a pair of pliers and grab the top(where the key goes) and the side and just pop it off then unscrew the bottom.

i personally prefer this method cause there is no real prying so no potential damage to the paint
