Brute strength and awkwardness... If it is coming out the top and front, take the side with inlet and move it towards the center of the hole. Try... and start that corner out while bunching the area where the cap fits as small as you can right behind it. All the while pulling and working it back and forth 1/8 to a 1/4 inch at a time. You won`t rip it into (unless it came from Karl Kinser`s). Going back in roll it up so it fits in the hole and baby powder it up good to prevent chafing.

Many cuss words and walk away sessions. You will get it its just a pain in the rear but it will come out

Thanks for the heads up. The baby powder sounds like a great ideal !

Works on the old hard cells to make them soft. Never had any ignition issues but if you are concerned slosh some water around first.
