Technical Dust Caps

[Stuart_89]

Hey, i put some metal dust caps on my wheels when i got my Stilo but now one has seemed to have rusted on, ive even tried twisting it with some pliers but it aint budging, the valve just starts to twist, has any one got any idea how i should get it off?

cheers

3 things shift rusted items 1 brute force 2 penetrating oil and 3 heat I would sugest the 2nd approach turn your wheel till the valve is at the top and give the cap a good spraying with WD40 leave it a couple of hours to soak in then give it a good twisting ,good luck
