How'd they get stuck, are they just on too tight?

Have you tried the old trick to open jars, where you heat the lid (valve cap) with hot water and cool the jar (valve stem) with cold water and the laws of expansion and contraction make it easy to open jars :D

It may work with metal valve caps as well...
