Scott -

I don't know what tool you are using, but there is a special socket out
there for this cap and it works very well:

See part number BT8 on this page:

It works just fine, and really the brass cap should not be on all that tight
anyway.

Robb at Brit tool is a great guy and we should be thankful that this guy is
out there making these tools!
