Removing my gas tank...How do I?

get my gas cap free from my 91 xjs convertible tank inlet tube? I don't want to break anything but it's in there pretty tight. Yes the bolts and clamps have been removed. I used a mini pry bar but it's coming up VERY slowly. I've got to seal the tank (typical), but it ain't coming out until the gas cap is out! Has anyone done this already that can give me some tips? WD? Thanks for any help. Bud
