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.

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.

Park with a stem on the high side, squirt Kroil on it. Use pliers to support valve stem

Zip

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

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

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