It is a tight fit on the 'o' ring seal, try visegrips with some masking tape over the jaws to prevent damaging the cap. When refitting it slap some Vaseline around the seal.

No it is a push-on cap, uses an 'o' ring to seal it. Just a tad bit tight that is all.

Mines a push on, tight as you like and I think Mick was just saying that so you could give a wiggle back and forth to help it on its way.
It will eventually come off.
