[ade01]

You can these: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_179411_langId_-1_categoryId_165453

Probably much cheaper to buy somewhere else though !

I like the 240v idea better what about filling the tyres with that slime stuff - squirt the little beggars with bright green goo !!

Pliers is your only sensible option though.

There used to be caps that secured with a small Allen headed grub screw, but the PITA with them was that they'd corrode onto the valve. I had some and used to used a small ring spanner to remove them once the Allen screw had been loosened.

smear the threads with copper slip --will stop the threads seizing:thumb2

Get some elsan blue fluid, which doesn't affect rubber or so they say, put a few drops of the fluid in the recess under the cap, put the cap back on.
The valve will have to be at the bottom of the wheel.

Also remember about it when you check your tyre pressures.....:doh:doh

When they press in the valve they will be covered in blue and as you know, this is difficult to get off your hands.:augie

Or try food colouring, or ink jet ink, you could have a different colour per wheel......:naughty
