The proper fitting tool (your cartridge cap being different than any I have seen), lots and lots and lots of heat without melting the seal inside, and a sharp impact are what's needed to get the cap off.
Yeah I know. But thanks for the intervention confirming what the back of my head already knew.

So what's the best way to hold the cartridge? Is it like Matt said, hold the cartridge tube in a vice using correct sized jig and then use the tool/heat/impact to get the cap off?
