Drill a hole in the cap and pull the valve through, do some research.

Simple, drill a hole big enough for the pin end to go through but not big enough for the whole valve to go through. Then whack some epoxy on it.

is it one with a notch in it? if it is just drill a 12.5mm hole in the end cap and pull it through, it will use a bit of effort. but it will not come out or leak.

why is this in the bbmg discussion?
