yup i have had that problem they get salt and sand in the threads then they seize up and dont want to unscrew. i just worked mine back and forth and got them to come off. now i just use the plastic ones like on your car and no more problems

I had one, I had to use pliars and did a little damage to the cap but nothing you can notice when standing up and looking at it so I still use it.. Put a little never seize on it when you put it back together.. (if you get it apart... )

Let it come out. Then you can put it on the bench or in a vise so you can see what you're doing?

Just take the whole valve out and soak it in a solution.
