You already got some good answers I would further suggest,
Have some WD40 or some other silcon, spray to apply little on the cap. Then have a good pipe wrench titen first just slight first, then reverse it slowly that way you should not damage the threads. This has helped me when I work on customers Old
galvanzed pipe fittings. This helps even when they appear crested over with rust.

To undo any nut turn anti-clockwise, This rule is for anything, faucets, taps, valves, nuts, anywhere in the World.
There are exceptions, but RARE
TIP ....If you intend undoing rusted-in nuts try soaking in meths, it "wets" the thread better than WD40 Meths=Alcohol

usually anti clockwise is to undo unless it's a ;left handed thread which is unusual... nuts with a lefthanded thread usually are marked with a cut inthe middle of the hex... but slowly does it or it might break...

Most caps that screw on is taken off by screwing them anti-clockwise.
