Remove stuck rear lens cap
The first thing I would try is using one of those rubber pads that are used for removing stubborn lids from jars. If that dose not work, I would use the fact that the Nikon rear lens caps are made out of soft plastic to my advantage. If you have a Dremel rotary tool with a disk cutting tool, you may be able to CAREFULLY and slowly cut away the lens cap. You didn't say which lens this is, but since with most lenses the telephoto position moves the rear element away from the back of the lens, I would set the lens to telephoto before starting to cut. I would start by cutting through the back of the lens cap. Cut a little at a time and try to take off the cap. Proceed slowly periodically trying to remove the cap. Hopefully, the pressure will be relieved and the cap will release before it becomes necessary to cut across the lens flange. When you are done, I would carefully clear the lens of any debris.
