YACT: Broken Oil cap...how to remove?

[LostHiWay]

My oil filler cap broke off trying unscrew it. I guess the last guy that took it off screwed it on way to tight. Any ideas on how to remove?

How'd it break off? pics? there are a couple different ways depending on how it broke.

Yeah, we're going to need pics, or a lot more detail.

I dont need pics, you have a plastic cap with metal interior, the plastic has broken off of the metal, now you have to either pop a rag overtop and turn it, or if your a girly man use some channel locks. (vise grips) Then go buy another one at your local napa, autozone, pepboys etc...

This is very common with ratcheting caps that prevent over torquing, eventually they wear out.
