Everyone is right about not squeezing the lens area when trying to unscrew it.
I spent 2 months trying to unscrew mine, progressivly using bigger tools. I was certain it must be welded together.
I finally took the P3 to a local dealer and told him my problem. He said bring it in so he could look at it. While we were talking he kept fiddling with it with just his fingers. A couple of minutes later it was off!
Here's the thing: the lens [cap] is aluminum, but it is very thin with internal threads. So any pressure applied to it, especially in just one or two spots actually makes it harder (impossible) to turn.
The dealer used all his fingers to apply pressure evenly and kept lightly working them around until it began to give way.
It was amazing! I almost fell down when I saw it come off so easily.
You can do it.
