Removing a Broken Oil Cap

Hyundai Azera Limited
141k miles


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 thing.

But first, I gotta get it off.

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

On a different vehicle. I wound up breaking off the cap and using channel locks to unscrew the rest.

Geez... that was easy. Snapped the cap off with large channel locks, and simply unscrewed the rest. It took longer to post!
