The standard metal cap and a washer would work but I think I'll just buy the right tool. There are so many valve removal and replacement tools that it isn't funny. This one has a screwdrover-hook to remove and a screwdriver-funnel to replace for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgDzZIop_uw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l4pJNg9k0I This guy just broke the old valve off and used the 4-way tool to put the new valve back on. https://youtu.be/HZSvNRifTDw |

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. -- Steve W. |

Remove with a utility knife, install with the tool. Soap the stem first. |

I have seen those nut-type valve stems in the stores, and I read while I looked this up that alloy wheels often use them. I have steel wheels so I'll use the rubber but is the procedure the same for the nut-type? Or do you just unscrew them and they fall out and you screw them and they go in (without any special tools)? |

Thanks for confirming that the cheap tool works just fine for my purpose, where the tire is already off the rim. The one hook-and-funnel tool works with the tire on the rim, whereas the rest of the tools I found work with the bead broken at least well enough to get your hand in there. Since I've seen in the videos people replacing the valve by breaking the bead while the tire is still on the car, one guy had a neat trick where he tied a long string to a drywall screw and before he cut the old valve stem in half, he screwed the screw into the backside (inside the tire) of the rubber valve stem. That way, if the inside cut-off rubber part fell, he could retrieve it easily. For him, this was important because he was breaking the bead with the wheel still mounted to the vehicle. For me, the tire will always be off the rim so I don't need that string-and-screw trick, but it's nice to know about in a pinch. |
