If its the 40 40 housing, then an old radiator valve will screw into the thread on the end of the cap making it easier to twist and pull.

I have used 'oil filter removal tool rubber' previously with success long time ago. Just type the search term in Google images to see what it looks like. It has  adjustable strap so smaller diameter makes no difference. Hope this helps.

Yes  I resorted to oil filter pliers in the past when I had a smaller RO.
Worked a treat after snapping a couple of those supplied plastic wrenches previously.  ::)roll
