My gas cap has cracked on the top and is really hard to cone off. Any ideas to get it off?

Take the 3 screws out and replace it with a new assembly they are fairly cheap

Hammer and punch or chisel on the edge to spin it off

Either way works. Long time ago I busted 1, and used a hammer with a screwdriver on the good 'leg' to loosen it, and then picked up another assembly at the marine store and just used the cap from it. We were on a fishing trip so that fix was less down time
