Subscribing here. I watched that video, tried to take my cap off, and failed too. Ryan Cook made it look so very easy. I've read on another
thread that removing the top cap takes some force. I'm just chicken (yeah, I'll admit it) to use that much force. Good Luck to you, Nitrust. Please let us know what worked for you. TIA
Edit: And if you happen to repair any of those gouges, please post how you did it.
