Easily. To remove the old one you just cut the inside section off. That
keeps you from trying to reuse an old stem.
Next take the new stem, coat it with either tire lube or some very soapy
water and put it through the hole, then pull with the 4 way while moving
your hand in a circle (not turning the valve). It will pull right into
place.
