did you pull the handle up and then pull? if it really is stuck then just keep wiggling it and jerking the **** out of it. it will eventually pull out

Mine does the same thing every time. I can check it an hour later and it feels like it's been welded on there. Just pull and wiggle in a circular motion, It will come off. I even used some tranny fluid and tried to lube it but it still gets stuck on there.

Same thing here. I am right handed so I just grab it and twist counter clockwise while I pull and it will eventually come free. It can be a biotch though

But what is it getting caught on? Is it just the cap that sticks?
