Mine did exactly the same the other week tried everything and couldn't get them off, so in the i took my time and cut them off with a small grinding disc attached to a dremel tool without damaging the valve took me about an hour to do all four. | |

Spray wd40 on them or heat them with a lighter or something. when taking them off carefully hold the valve with a pair of pliers to stop it spinning around. | |

Went to check my tyre pressures and my metal dust caps have corroded and are now stuck onto the valve :mad: Cant get them off, tried pliers on them and all sorts, just wont budge and end up spinning the whole valve around! How can I get them off so I can check my tyre pressure and then so I can also put normal rubber ones back on that dont corrode! :o |
