I just bought some valve caps off the 'bay with Citroen logos on. Trouble is, one of the previous ones (which came from the pound shop) is stuck on and when I try and free it with a socket, the whole valve spins round! Any tips? Bracing it with a Mole wrench didn't work...

thats the trouble with cheap alloy valve caps! they have a habbit of sticking ont he threads!!! you can use a set of maul wrenches on them but advisable to get a bit of cloth around the grips and not to do them too tight!
Cant beat a nice set of black plastic caps!

Good point CSG Though this means I shouldn't have got rid of the alloys I just sold! Aargh! Oh well...
I bought some of the same valve caps for my girlfriend and one of hers is stuck on as well This has done nothing for my mechanically-minded-man image, I can tell you...
