Tamper Proof Valve Caps - Help required!
Please help!
The car came with some tamper proof valve caps on the tyres - i kept them on, but I have lost the little screw that came with it to take the the bloody things off with!!
Any ideas how I can get them off??
I haven't been able to put any air in my tyres for the least 8 weeks, and now its getting to a point where they need inflating.
Thanks in advance.
Kieran.

Kieran, were they expensive? Can you either just go buy some more or just purchase a replacement screw from the store you bought them or direct from the manufacturer? I'd maybe email the manufacturer and see if they will send you a new one.

The PO bought them.
I have seen them on Ebay, but i cant tell if they fit the same way - i have seem some that use a mini screwdriver to tighten them up.
I also cant tell by looking at them who the manufacturer might be.
I might have to go to my local hardware store and see if i can find a screw that fits just by trial and error - i was just hoping there might be a quicker way to get them off.
