I don't know if science backs this up but it often seems easier to apply force gently with a big lever than wailing on a small one.
No one can resist thinking it must be held on by some other as yet unknown mechanical force though, it's human nature.
Often once you've given up any possibility of saving the taps you'll be able to get the cap off!
