In rare instances you may even be able to unthread the nozzle off by rotating it counter-clockwise. Otherwise, get flathead screwdrivers to pry it off. Prying off is the universal solution. You can also use a flathead screwdriver and a hammer to cut the piece in half along where the casing would split, but this is rarely, if ever a really good idea at the end. (On some guns doing this can make the nozzle/pump cap very difficult to keep on when closing the gun.)
Two flathead screwdrivers (that are relatively sharp) should do the job. Quite some force is sometimes needed to rip the caps off so be prepared for some plastic to fly.
