So I got these used rims for winter duties. The original owner puts on these fancy anodized blue metal caps for ricyness. So they must've corroded and now stuck to the valve itself! I've tried so far...

- using pliers
- douse it with WD40
- hammering it in hopes of loosening the corrosion

Still they won't budge. Any ideas? Luckily they are not mounted yet. I would like to avoid taking them to the tire shop if i can help it. So I need your esteemed ideas.

 

Fire? I.e. heat them up a bit.

 

off topic, but is "home of the NIMBYs" new jersey? hahaha we have alot of nimbys

 

i haven't had any problems with mine yet.

 

little anti-seeze or anti-gauling compound goes a long way
