Had some mini ones a while ago - would have been easier to cut the tyre off the rim, rather than get the valve cover off "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

How can such a simple twisty turny thing go so wrong?

I have had mine on since the start of November with no problems. If you check your air pressure as often as you should, then you shouldn't have a problem. Slight coating of copper grease will also help.

I put them on mine, I could get three of them off.
It cost £15 to get the fourth one off, it would not undo, and I had to have a new valve fitted.Land Rover Dicovery 3. 5 Seats.
