Stuck dust caps

We had this on my sons car, after fubaring a valve using pliers we went to our local tyre depot and they just poured boiling water from the kettle on them. It sorted the problem.

The hot water usually works. If all else fails, take a junior hacksaw to the caps, cutting at an angle through one side taking care not to go through to the thread on the valve. Once you have a decent slot, twist a screwdriver into the cap. This should split the cap enabling removal.
