<p>It takes patience. I've opened many of them.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My advice? Don't use anything (like say, a butterknife) to pry under the cap. I learned that lesson the hard way. Twice.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Get some gloves with those little rubber grippies (like gardening gloves or dishwashing gloves) on them and have someone hold the base while you try the top. They can be really tough to get off. </p>

<p>My Century cap wouldn't budge even after it was hot. In addition to heating, I sprayed a bit of WD40 under the cap and used a rubber grip pad and it finally came off.</p>

<p>yes, I unscrew them when the lamp is hot to eliminate the slight vacuum that is created when the lamp cools and then i screw that cap back on when the lamp is hot then let it cool to restore the vacuum </p>
