Keith, The hose is probably original (its red), so the stuck cap becomes a much larger project. When I used the hammer, the metal looked like bronze. Its still stuck. The O ring should be preventing the Blaster from getting where it needs to be. I ordered a replacement cap (appears to be nylon or plastic) as a temporary fix. Adding a new hose and fitting to the off-season list.
Had the same issue on my Pearson, but that tank was overflowing. At least I'm not there!
