I had a similar problem on my Spit a few months back. You can check the
past threads if you want the full story. In a nut shell, you have two
options. Either weld a nut on the inside of the cap or epoxy a nut on
the inside. I welded mine but next time will opt for epoxy such as JB
Weld. With the nut on the inside, the bolt has firm material to grasp
and the cap comes off easily and is not damaged in the slightest.
