Sticky Dustcap

[Chris.B]

Bought some alloys, and basically the guy left on some metal dustcaps.
They seem to be fully stuck on and I cant unscrew them.
Kinda need them off urgently as the tyre needs pumping.

Just wondering if anyone knew how to loosen them or if anyone has had this problem before.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Theyre not those "locking" types are they, that need a "key".....?

metal ones usually sieze on, always have people coming into my work to get me to remove them. try two pairs of mole grips, one on the cap ne on the valve but be careful not to rip the valve itself.

this happened to me the other week, 'if in doubt get the grinder out' be carefull though i take no responsability if you slash your tyre lol

just nip it in to your local tyre place, just dont drive on your tyres flat as youll ruin them
