Pb blaster penetrating lube, then your same method. They shouldnt be "that" hard. Worst come to worst, get a mapp torch and heat it up.

Just use a smaller flat head screwdriver and search out the parts of the cap ends where there may be open spots to hammer it.
Just have patience.
It'll come off.
Then have fun putting it back on.
