Default Stuck trying to loosen clutch reservoir cap

Hi all any hints other than hitting it with a hammer and screwdriver for releasing this cap ?

A long screwdriver, straight edge Rob, against one of the ridges on side of cap and tap with a hammer is about the only way, if its tight.

Get a leather belt and put it round it.
They work in undoing oil filters.

Thought about a strap wrench but was told it's tight to get it round
