Inscrutably, the ratcheting oil cap will not twist off. I'm guessing from the sound and feel as I twist the cap counterclockwise that the pawl has broken inside the cap. Clearly I must replace the cap.

But first, I gotta remove the thing.

How does one remove a stuck oil cap without creating plastic detritus that'll invariably fall inside head..?

it must be done by specialist
