Road Salt fuses them, apply some vaseline when you put them back on

This happened to me last weekend at a local Shell forecourt, I applied alittle too much pressure to the cap and the valve began leaking. Whilst my tyre began deflating I thought I'd just change the wheel only to find the wrench was missing . Luckily there was a tyre fitters open a 1/4 of a mile away.

first spray them with WD40 and leave for a few minutes, just enough time to boil the kettle. Then get the valve to thebottom (ie move the car a little) and pour boiling water over the valve caps slowly and try to get them to budge once and a while with pliers.

and try not to get wd40 on the valve stem where it goes into the rim.
