WD40 reacts with rubber in a way that makes it slippery at first, then extremely sticky.

Let them chill for a bit and they won't budge.
Damn, I used the zip tie method and it sucked. Manage to snap two bye trying to pull them out afterwards. Will do this when I buy a new pair along with urban assaults. BTW, what do you mean by the second one will full with air? Why not the first one too? Lol
