The cap doesn't want to come loose. I have the correct spanner and I've got it to rotate about 1/4 turn, but it's REALLY hard. 

As you can see in the attached photo there are two V-shaped indents in the cylinder case with the deep part of the V into the threaded part of the cap.  Is this some sort of 'pinning' to restrain loosening of the cap?  If so, how to remove the restraint?

I suppose I could DREMEL grind through the Vs, but that seems excessive.

If the indents are NOT restraining the cap removal I suppose my next step is heating the cylinder top [after removal of the pump fill cap to vent]. Man, I hate to have to do this.

Here's a link to a photo of the cylinder and top showing the indents:

Have you relieved the pressure within the cylinder?

Still really hard to unscrew top cap. Here's the photo of the indents again.
My question is: are these indents meant to restrain loosesing?
