Thanks to several suggestions from this list, I finally got the backward fuel cap removed this evening. This little miscue ate nearly 2 hours of time. With the cap loose, which aligned the small tang with the large slot I used vice grips and tilted the cap up in the rear as far as I could. I then used a sturdy but slim screw driver and forced it under the small tang and pried that up on top of the filler neck. A slight counterclockwise turn with the vice grips freed it so that it would rotate and could be removed. Both tangs ended up deformed, but I was able to reform them for a tight fit. I believe that if I had not had new gaskets this chore would have been easier, but not as easy as keeping the caps out of the hands of line personnel in the future.
