Ken,
dunno what part of the bigpond you're from, but no-one around Perth calls a clamp a cramp!
DON'T use a spanner/wrench (adjustable or not) on valve caps unless you want to really strip the bevelling. See my previous post...
I once had a student in Kalgoorlie who's dad was a mechanic on the big gold ore trucks (so big you can stand in the tyre). He used a mining tool known as a 'valve puller' on a stuck valve. Ever seen a shredded tuba?
