As I recall, and was mentioned by another lister, that rear cap has a
threaded hole in it. That's to allow a bearing cap puller to be threaded
in and used to pull the cap off.

This is one of those times when the right tool is really handy. You
won't use it often, but it'll avoid the potential for a lot of damage.

If you try something similar, be certain you don't screw anything into
the cap deep enough to hit the crank :-)
