I have sprayed them with WD40 a lot!
I will try to heat them but I dont see that working. I think im gonna have to rip the valves out and then go get new ones put in...

i had to cut the ones off my old corsa it was literally welded on, ended up cutting it with a simple saw although its pretty hard prob would have been easier if i would have removed the wheel off the car
