JoshThePonce Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I've got some CF Nismo valve caps and i can't for the life of me get them off to pump my tyres up, they're completely seized on and just won't seem to budge, any suggestions?

M13KYF Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 seen this happen with other members, particularly a problem with cheap caps. Dont do anything until you get to a tyre place. It can rip the valve trying to get them off. Next time put a bit of copper grease on the thread or buy some descent caps like richbrook ones for example.

SteveRS Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Happens a lot with the metal valve caps unfortunately, which is why I stock the plastic nismo and Z logo valve caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_c Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Try heating them up carefully, my friends got stuck on his BMW, but it was just the grub screw that was seized as they were anti theft ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
