it would have to be on there really well... i was honding it on a hoist by a strap wrapped around it, and bouncing it over some tires and it wouldnt come off... im thinking i might need to take something else off first? maybe the oil pump?

I had a tough time getting the main caps off of my LS block, I used some pliers on the first one, then I was able to get my hands in for the rest. A rubber mallet does nicely as well.

I actually made this same post a long time ago, and got the same response, from the same person :P

Just have at it with a hammer, it will come off.
