Valve stem replace Without tire removal *2 METHODS*

I'm firmly convinced that Moe follows me around to see what maintenance I should be doing and then makes videos about it

You always have the coolest and most unique tips on the internet. Thanks again for uploading another great tip. I never knew that tool existed, now I've got to buy one.

I didn't realize there was a way to swap a bad valve with the tire on the rim. Super good to know. I actually carry spare valves

I have a red Cattle dog and I'm an older dude he not only picks stuff up for me on hand commands like my seeing glasses or screwdriver he stands on his hind legs and gives it to me so I don't even have to bend over. This is my third healer and I won't have any other type of dog anymore I love them to death. He used to go out and get the newspaper for me but he started wanting to read it before he brought it back to me so I had to stop that. Rock on Dutch

Wow. How do you come up with such arcane tasks that still relate to my life and make me want to watch your videos? Thanks for the good info on valve stems. 👍

I've done a few before and I put the valve stem in boiling water. Great video as always showing tricks and methods that people don't know 👍

Used that tool to replace a torn valve stem on some guy's 4x4 out on a trail a month ago. Bystanders were impressed. Key to success is: 1) lube the tube (engine oil off the dipstick); 2) keep the tube end pressed firmly against the rim; 3) firmly tap the valve stem into the rim with a soft hammer (deadblow) or rubber mallet.

Moe... I believe Ginger deserves a raise !! Give her at pat for me ! Take care as always.

Been doing this 20 years.... mainly because I'm a roadside tec but still not everyone knows these things

You’re one of those few guys I would want for my neighbor. Not so you could fix my stuff. But because you wouldnt make fun of me for changing my valve stem the hard way instead of taking it to a shop. I bet we’re related somewhere down the line 😂. Keep up the great videos.

Did not know such a way was possible. Very nice sir….id like to add something to keep in mind I recently learned regarding valve stems on wheels. I sent my Datsun wheels out for powder. I did not realize there are more than one standard size for the diameter. Thank god the powder coater knew who to call. I always assumed there was one standard diameter size. Cool channel man keep up the good work sir👍👍👍👍

I still have valve stems/ patches from the 70's and 60's left in my tire repair cabinet.😊 Those patches with the orange ring on outer edge. Like you shown in an other video.

Thank you for the reminder that I needed to buy more valve stems. Great stuff, as always. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, my friend!

Thanks so much. I literally have to do this and was recommended it before I could look it up.

You made fixing my tires so much easier ❤

Just did this. Used a small transmission funnel win 2 hose clamps on the end to keep it from breaking. Silicone grease for lubrication. Worked great! very easy.

Useful video. Something i have started doing when repairing valve stems, or reseating beads, is to use Green Slime tire sealer as my lube. That's the liquid stuff you normally squeeze in through the valve stem (tire shops hate it!). But using it as lube for repairs means you don't make that big mess, yet you still get the sealing effect where you most likely need it (bead or valve). I'm not sure if it would be slippy enough for your two-piece tool, but in the manual method, you could put a few drops on the mushroom just before it finally pops into place. Cheers!

Thanks for all the knowledge, and yes it's great to have a partner to pick up dropped stuff for you. Happens to me way more now than 20 years ago :)

I've always broken down the tire in order to install new valve stems. I reslly like your method, thanks for sharing. It is good to see Ginger, she is such a smart a pretty girl.❤️

Good tip on the rubber type. I'll pay attention next time I buy some.. I started keeping mine in a sealed container because they were drying out and tear when I installed them. I also buy in bulk but I don't use enough to keep a fresh supply. AND,, once a dog knows to pick up things you drop,, they seem anxious to help.. A smart, disciplined dog is a happy dog..
