I believe this is the vent to my plumbing but I’ve never seen a cap like this. Any ideas?
Put some ice and water in a plastic bag and sit it on top of the cap. Let it sit there long enough to cool down the cap.
While the bag is sitting on it, pour hot water on the ground against the pipe to heat up the pipe.
The cool cap will contract while the warm pipe expands. This might loosen it enough to use a straight bar to unscrew the cap.

Use a flat piece of metal or wood and lay it across the cap, then turn. It will apply pressure to two of the nubs instead of one, preventing damage.

This worked like a charm thanks. Surprised how easy it ended up being. When I tried a different method it felt like it was glued shut.
