When I got my car, the cap was literally "fused" to the M/C from corrosion. Even a long breaker bar and multiple soakings in PB couldn't even budge it. I figured it it was that gunked up then I didn't want to mess or trust it as probably the bore was going to be really pitted. So I just bought a new M/C as that same one (51-56 manual) is still being produced.

It's still a current Wagner part number and can be bought from Napa for <$100. Or off of ebay for <$60.

Wagner P/N F3081

or

Raybestos P/N MC3081

Just replace it, and you get a fresh casting with no rust and all new material innards.
