Question I need some help

Ok so i have these "chrome" valve stem caps on my two rear tires, and they are pretty much stuck on there, almost welded it seems. Any thoughts on how i can get them off without hurting the stem? I tried pliers and no luck.

PS that blonde joke was not funny, i was clicking for like 20 min.

You could ask the people that STOLE mine how they got them off. Assholes.

I didnt think you were blonde.

spray some penetrating oil on the threads and tap the caps a couple of times. Then try the correctly sized wrench on the flats. If that doesn't work, try locking pliers (aka Vise-Grips) on them.
