vbrad511 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Not on my Quest, on my truck. A while back I bought a set of neat little aluminum valve stem caps from HF, Put 'em on and all was fine. I go to check my air pressure a bit ago and they've all seized to the stems. Put a set of pliers to them, they twist the stems (I don't wanna mess them up). I loaded them with Blaster, but anybody have any other ideas for getting them off of my wheels, shy of ripping the stems out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexygomer Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) that is referred to as galvanic corrosion, basically two different metals plus oxidization = lovely corrosion that basically fuses the two together, happens A LOT with the nex TPMS valves, good luck man Edited May 24, 2010 by sexygomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
