That's a new one. I mean, I get it, I think...it's frozen? I take it it's not the hex-head type you can hit with a 3/8" or 5/16" wrench(whichever, I can't recall off-hand). You were afraid to try that because of possibly twisting the valve stem off with it? But, you do know there's rubber washers in those right? And that's a rubber valve stem isn't it? All schrader valves have rubber bits in 'em, that much I'm sure of. I dunno, I just hope you're careful enough doing that. Or that you're as smart as I am, and you carry several extra valve stems and a 12V tire pump at all times. And all the tools required to dismount/loosen the bead so you can install one if need be. Heck, I carry enough tire fixing tools to fully dismount, patch, and remount all four trailside. And, of course, a full-size spare.
Oh, and one more bit of advice. Metal valve stems on your wheeling rig. Solves that altogether.

I see. Well, you gotta do what ya gotta do. I also carry a propane torch and a couple cans of propane, for whichever little thing comes up. Damn handy. That wouldn't have been one that I'd have expected ever happening, but I've probably used it for stranger things. If I sit and think about it long enough. Makes fire-starting a breeze for sure.

Mudd, yeah luckily I always bring my torch wheeling for starting fires or the grill or ... anything else
Hey Lisa no burn intended. And hey atleast you didnt' have to spend time airing back up and relying on an arb pump that failed after airing up one truck.
