Hi, I have a 1977 R100s with a fuel cap that will not come off. Any help with this is very much appreciated. I have attached a video, at one point you can hear it clicking but it won't unlock.

Thanks, Daniel.

In the middle of this page is a section titled "Ratcheting, unscrewing, re-keying":

If needed you may have to drill a hole which is described earlier in the article.
