Done.. I had three spares and, you guessed it, broke two of them trying to get them off.. Guess I didn't realize how fragile they really are either. I'll have it on your way today. Your mailing address is still the same, right?

I need to measure the cap to be sure of the size, I keep meaning to do this but when I'm working I don't think of it.   I have some doubt to the size since it has been mentioned that there may be two sizes.  I do know it is the same cap that is on my '58 pickup.  Thanks for all the help, sorry for being a slacker on my end.

I did try this, I'm usually good at getting stuck things unstuck but this time not.  The caps are hollow and just collapse.

Tim: you might try soaking them in a good penitrating fluid, for some time & then gently tap them repeatedly with a light hammer to set up resonance. From my experience in waterfront maintenance it often works.

Tim, i know this isnt the fact in your case but allways wondered why guys when they see the large hex or square on top of alloy cap cant wait to swing on it with largest wrench to tighten it, why when its only a lid. then once overtightened the brake fluid and the alloy corrode swelling up the lid till you have to destroy it to remove, a very light nip is all thats needed, i just use my fingers like a bottle lid! i notice the replacement cyls often come with nylon/plastic lids and can be easily X Threaded when fitted. Just thought i,d mention this point to avoid future problems for anyone. The new alloy caps are avail from carpenters, job lot and other dealers for anyone requireing new one. love the race truck!
