[Closed] roadie extendable tube valves

I've got these on one of my bikes and I find them very annoying when using them with my very swish lezyne track pump, as the removable 'middle bit' (technical term) has a tendency of coming out when i'm unscrewing the pump head after having pumped them up. Would putting a bit of loctite on the thread fix this problem or mess things up? I've reverted to using my old track pump which blows out a fair bit to pump up these tyres which seems to negate the point of the nice newer pump. ๐Ÿ˜•

Screw them in with some pliers or something? I'd be worried that Loctite may jam the valve.

Yeah, I've tried the pliers on one of 'em, don't think I've pumped that one up since doing that...I'll see how that goes...its ****ing annoying when you've just put the effort in to see the tyre go from 110 to 0psi in 0.5 secs...It was the loctite ad I've got over there >>>> that gave me the idea.
