How to remove Mityvac drain cap?

The drain cap is so tight. Any tricks would be appreciated.

Break Seal

Did you break the seal on one of the other lines? There could be negative pressure in the canister not allowing you to remove it.....either that or if the plug has been in there a long time it will just take some caveman muscle....
Hope this helps.

Ron - You were right. It takes some cave man muscles to pull it out and that is exactly what I did. Lessons learned not to close it too tight if you were gonna leave the plug there for a long period of time.
