There's a valve cap in an alloy wheel which won't come off, I was told to put a pen in the dimple bit to turn it off and unscrew it but it hasn't worked. Is there anyother way to get it off or do I have to go to a wheel place for a whole new valve
cheers

Try some WD40 on it. I'm guessing it's an aluminium one?

You might need to just go to a tyre shop and see how much for a new valve. They might do it for free/beer money if you're lucky.

So you mean there is a cap stuck on, and you need to get air in, not the tyre is off & you want to fit a new valve?
If its just the cap stuck on, watch if you're forcing it, could rip the valve & loose all your air.
