Tyre valve
I have a back tyre which needs a little air, unfortunately i cannot get the tyre valve off.
The previous owner put on a set of snazzy red caps. All the other caps unscrew no problem at all, its just this one.
I have sprayed WD40 onto the valve but it still wont move.
Anyone give me a suggestion I would be most grateful

Re: Tyre valve
I wish - had pliers on the valve and another pair on the rubber going into the tyre - just would not budge.
Think i will take it to a tyre centre and let them at it.

It's something to do with galvanic tables and metallurgist stuff that I cannot spell or explain but I think they may have boned together permanently - Tyre Centre is the answer.........
Re: Tyre valve
i had the same problem with mine.
i ended up having to have a new valve fitted.

Re: Tyre valve
I was in Cardiff so called into the fast food equivalent for tyres They only charged me £10 so sounds like about the norm.
It had rusted on, they took the other 3 off and sprayed some grease into them to stop them rusting.
Trouble is i have an odd one now

Re: Tyre valve
2 mins with a 5 inch grinder, just carefully take one side off the cap with the grinder,then the heat will open up the remainder off the threads, off with pliers.
