Dustcaps..

[mumof4]

I have a wee problem whereas i put pink dustcaps on my tyres..now to cut a long story short...ive put them on so tight i cant get the buggers off..any suggestions?..im spraying them with WD40 at the mo...next step i was going to try was butter..

 

any ideas please??..as the local garage doesnt want to try and get them off incase he rips the valves.

ok..ive been trying for well over an hour and have only removed two..im taking it to a tyre place to get them off.

I have used the aluminium dust caps in past and i will never again use them, its not that they are on to tight its the brass schroeder fitting seizing onto the aluminium cap, i used a dremel multi tool to cut down one side as i thought i would end up ripping the valves if i kept using glips/pliers etc

Which way did you try turning them......you will find one way is easier than the other

I put some nice aluminium dust caps on my Gal and done the up tight with the little tool supplied. Two days later some little bugger's had them away, I'm sure I've seen them on their bikes.

 

So if you can't get them off in the future, ask the brats in your area
