Well I grabbed the cap on the flats with the biggest pair of channel locks I have, and tapped the channel locks back and forth with a large nylon hammer. Third or fourth hit the cap moved, and after that it was just a matter of working it back and forth.

Original Post:

OK, so I'm checking the brakes and bearings and after removing the dust cover I see there is an inner cover, so far recessed that I can't get at it with anything. It looks like someone grabbed it with a big pair of channel locks at some point. Someone must know an easy way to pop this off, and it is probably so simple that this is a great opportunity to make me look reeeeeeeeeally stupid in front of the whole forum.

Oh, and I looked in the manual in section 5-17, and it only shows the outer cap, not this inner one.
