The back caps on my new Mirafone 186 were so stuck it felt as if they were welded on.
I bought a small light-duty strap wrench, and it loosened them effortlessly without scratching the instrument. Make sure you get a very small strap wrench-----on some tubas, the clearance can be a little tight in that area.
