Every 20 minute job is only one broken bolt away from becoming a three day ordeal ;D ;D

Like this? I put some colored aluminum tire valve caps on my car, now they are seized on and I can't get them off. It will be really embarrassing if I get a flat!
Open to ideas that won't result in tearing the rubber stems off.
Cheers! >:(

Take it to a tire shop,.. let them deal with it.
If they break,.. they'll just pop new ones in for a couple of bucks.

Aluminum swells a lot when it get really warm . Brass not so much ! ;)

Think pencil torch . Get the pliers warm too ... just so they don't suck all the heat out of the Aluminum .

Your standard cheap crack torch will work fine.

You won't even need to buy butane.
That would solve it, cheap..
And you can solder with them.

howinhell does someone from Alabama know about Rob Ford? Canada's secret shame, his brother Doug is Premier of Ontario, elected on the same basis as Trump, after 13 years of insanity under a Liberal regime!
Cheers! 8-)
