If you've gotten the screw-on cap off- then don't take the inner spring cap thing out. Just use a wooden dowel rod cut to length or a pencil. You can buy the fancy plastic plug- and that will sit on top of the spring cap thing.
However, if you can't get the screw-on cap off- then yes, you may need to wrap your channel lock plier jaws with several layers of duct tape. They make special padded jawed pliers just for this job- but why pay $20+ for something you won't use that often?
