Push down and turn (i wanna say counter-clockwise) and it should pop right off. Also let the car sit for an hour or 2 before you try.

IDK what do you want the cap off for? lol
I assumed you wanted to put coolant in that way, then the overflow then bleed through the thermostat...

I remember in your old post that your car won't let the temperature go past halfway? that's the 195 mark, which means your thermostat is opening properly.
But if you wanna spend $6 just to see, go for it.

IDK what to tell you...
If your engine is cold it should pop right off. What does the cap say to remove? Or try your owner's manual. I don't have any books with me at work today.

i never got a manual. But the cap has like 3 metal parts that are like holding onto the tube the cap screws into.
Edit-well i got it off and my radiator is full
