        Heat helps but you need to be a bit wary that there's a shocker inside.

            If there is interest I can make these caps in stainless and a suitable tool to suit: If so start a list below so I can get a feel for quantity

              For info, I discovered that if you buy bilstein shocks you get new caps with them to suit the new shock.
