Look at your 16mm socket. The end will be chamfered so that it does not fit down square to the bottom seat of the cap. This means it does not sit all the way down on the nut. You can see the result as the top corners are rounded and the bottom of the cap is sharp. Use a grinding wheel to remove this taper. Next heat up the surrounding carb top. Use penetrating oil as you heat and cool the carb top to shock the cap loose. I suspect it would come right out with an impact wrench after that.
Yes, replace it once you are finished.
