*********************************************************************
My first 40 years of driving this wasn't an issue.... in the past 3 years, I have had 5 valve stems crack just like yours. What a pain in the butt. That is an awesome tool Steve. 1 Big Toe and 2 Thumps Up!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Mike and there is a link left from a viewer pinned as first comment to an amazon link if you would like one as well. Cheers
Too late. When I saw that stem pop in, I flipped over to Amazon (amzn.to/2sc8ohP) and purchased one $22 immediately. Cool Stuff!!!!!
These valve stems are coming out of China they’re junk, they start leaking w/in a year or 2
I was in the tire business for 25+ years I never seen a tool like that!!!! Very interesting Steve!!! Personally I always asked customers if they had hub caps then we used the long stems if not we installed short ones.
I think is a great idea for a quick valve stem replacement , i'm surprised as much as you are , seems not too many have seen it either. Well my daughter had them winter tires put on at Crappy Tire and there was no hub caps. LOL She won't be ever going back there again .
I used to tear them up all the time on a truck I used to own. It had the long stems as well...I hated them, always switched to shorter ones. DANG, that is handy as all get out!!! You just saved a lot of people a lot of time! Thank You!
It's a great little kit and I can see the benefit for those like you that do repairs themselves. Cheers buddy
It's peeps like you that show us all how life is easier helping each other. This is what A true human being is.
THANK YOU SO MUCH😀😂!!!!!!!
Thank much appreciated 👍
Bought one on the strength of this video. Changed stem in about a minute. Best piece of kit EVER
Fantastic Mike - nice to hear.
where can i get the kit
Look at the comments as some links were posted.
Short, Simple and Smart way to change a valve stem. Never seen this done before, but I will be able to do this now that you put out this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. - Johnny
Thanks Johnny, much appreciated 👍
Googling to see how to change a valve stem without dismounting a tire and low and behold my buddy Steve Rob has had a video up on it since June that I never saw! Considering that I pay about $25 for the local tire shop to dismount and replace one and re-balance, this tool seems like a good investment that will pay for itself. My wife is attracted to curbs and potholes like a rare earth magnet is to steel.
Can’t wait to try this! I did not want to go through the hassle of removing a motorcycles rear tire just to replace the valve lol
wow, that's a handy tool to have for non sensored tires....i'v never seen something like that for tire valves... thanks for sharing
Bill it's a great tool and a link for it is in the comments at the top.
Steve I'm a new subscriber just because your smart .
And that made me smarter.
You saved this old man's back I cut my valve stems from thieves crawling under my car's to steal part's. But now I have my garage almost built I need to move it and I didn't want to pull and Jack up that 1970 Chevy Impala I shudder just thinking about that task . But by chance I found your site .
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Blessings and more Blessings to you and your family. 😁👍
Thanks Charles much appreciated .
That is awesome! I just went through this very thing! Had to pull the tire and take it down to the garage never knew anything about this tool
Good to have in the tool box for sure!!
Thanks bud
It's a great little rig and I believe amazon sells it - a link in the first comment too. Cheers buddy
Great vid - thanks for posting.
Just ordered a version of this from Amazon UK myself ("Laser 5540 Tyre Valve Tool" in case that helps anyone over on this side of the Atlantic). They're hard to find - obviously tyre shops don't want us to have them - it's bad for business!
Oh, and good tip about using the shorter TR413 valve stems instead of TR414 or even the 418. They're way too long and far more prone to damage.
Thanks Andrew glad to see you got the tool . Cheers
That's first time I've seen a stem pulled without removing the tire .👍
It's so easy to do and fast - no rebalancing either. Cheers buddy
A guy from the AA UK replaced my valve just like this, i came to TH-cam to find out how exactly how he did it and to get the equipment and valves for myself so i don't have to call the AA out next time. Great video, thank you uploader.
Thanks Simon so glad to have helped.
Nice video Steve in showing how to replace a valve stem. I never seen such a tool before but I can see where it would really save some time. 👍
Yes its great for off road stuff without a TPM system. Tractor tires and trailers would be the most for this kit. Saving you from breaking down the tire is always good. I could see a tire shop using it for a quick valve change too. Take care buddy and stay out of all that heat down there :)
pretty nice tool kit I ordered mine at Amazon will fix my two rear tire valve thanks.
It works great you will like it. Cheers
What did you call it? My search only comes up with valve stem replacement kits.
I have not seen one of these in years. Usually they but a long valve stem in for use with hubcaps, or because they have more of them in the box than any other size. Thank you for the video, Steve
Well there was no hub caps on them winter tires but Canadian Tire installed them years ago so we know how that goes. LOL
nice job. Can't say I've ever had to change a worn out valve stem. Very nifty
Well get ready, Charlies walking and soon driving . Get prepared LOL
Steve, awesome... I didn't know that you could replace the valve stems without breaking out the tire.
Thanks for taking a look Fred. 👍
I was waiting to see the air pop. Good job Steve Rob, very informative!
Thanks buddy its a great time saver.
Nope, never seen one like that. That is one very cool tool. Thanks Steve so much!
Glad you liked it and seen a different way of doing it and save some money too. Cheers Shlisa
Did my first one yesterday but I didn’t have the new valve ready at the small end of the cone and soapy water, couldn’t push it through, 2nd attempt I put vasoline on the base of the valve and success, next one I’ll load the valve in the cone to the bottom end, you made it look easier thank you great video
👍
You did a great job. Descriptive and helpful. I can’t believe there were any thumbs down...
Thanks bud much appreciated , the thumbs down I don't get either . Cheers
STEVE ROB REVIEWS
Absolutely, bud.
Cheers
like the video, just purchased one, gone rushing in like you do fitting four new tyre's and who forgot to check the valve's? two need changing, this'll do the job a treat 👍
Awesome Graham glad to have helped.
Cheer's Steve 😎
Hi Steve worked a treat, saved shit loads of time doing it this way.👍
fantastic tool , i bought mine 2+ years ago , but havent found one carried lately , dont know if there any law suits due to missuse. only time they wont work is on high pressure truck valves . great vid thanks
Thanks Greg , they still sell them on Amazon , love mine for all my bush trailers that seem to get valve stems snagged on branches now and then.
@@SteveRobReviews Steve, please, can you give me the correct name in English to search for it on amazon or the link? Thanks, been without my Goldwing for 3 weeks now.
fantastic piece of kit fantastic video sweetheart lol I need to get one of them going to cost me more money now
Thanks honey and one fellow found it on amazon and put a link. I pinned it at the top. I thinks its a great idea for a shop that does trailer tires and such.
STEVE ROB yes I found 1 to only seems to be in the US which is annoying but I ordered it on its way thanks for the video it's going to save me a lot of messing
Terrific and you don't have to rebalance or like you say mess about - 2 minutes and the customer is happy it's done so quick. You must show it on your channel to. Cheers
STEVE ROB ok sweetheart I will do a video on it and I'll tell everybody it was my idea and I've had this kit for years but you beat me to the video hahahahha
Great vid Steve. I have never changed one. Good info to know. I will look into getting the tools.
Russ its a great little kit if you back in the outback somewhere. I know a guy that couldn't get the rim off his car it was rusted on so bad hahah we just popped in another valve .
That is slick as snot! I like it!
Could have used that one today.
The one you've go is the Laser LAS5540 5540 Tyre Valve Tool Set
Brian these are so handy for me out in the bush on my trailer tires ,
slick is right and back in action in 5 minutes. Cheers
Perfect for side of the road fix. Thanks Steve.
Yes or on the trail in a quad. Cheers
Great video just ordered the Haltec kit from Amazon. Thanks Steve
Paul the first time you use it pay for itself. Awesome !!! Cheers
Pretty neat Brother. The long stems are for those cars that have hub caps that cover the valve stem.
Good Stuff Steve.
That's what I thought but there was no hub caps on these tires . LOL
Just so ya know my daughter is lurking on the internet now so if you see MostlyMinecraft Plus making comments on my channel you'll know who that is. She only has two vids right now but I'm willing to bet she will pass me in that department very quickly. Thanks
It's a gaming channel I assume .
Yeah and the Plus is for other stuff don't ask me what that is. She's a teenager so it will probably be stuff that they like. She asked me four4 help so I will be helping her out. Gotta go to church this morning.
I've been pushing them in with screwdrivers for years. A friend drove up while I was at the barn last week fighting with one when he told me he had only heard of such a tool. Anyway here I am , but I will copy it and make up a couple to keep in a few trucks and tractors. Thanks a bunch. ✌️👍😉
Cheers Phil
Awesome tip and nice little tool. Good work Steve.
Thanks Victor it's helped me over the years. Cheers
Good job, Steve...thanks and happy Sunday 😊
Thanks buddy and a happy Sunday to you too.
Your a cool dude i can tell. Thank you for making this video.
👍
Thanks for sharing! Had no idea this method existed. Looks really handy and will keep in mind if I find a slow leak at the valve stem. Thinking can fabricate the tools also and don't even need to invest in... other than time and materials scrounging around.
That's a great idea as I did exactly same years back :)
@@SteveRobReviews Reading into, looking like for the rider rim, to replace the valve stem for now... I can use the metal cap with the Shrader valve removal tip and a nail placed in with the head between the valve stem thread and cap and then pulling on the nail. Never did and neat to learn. Thanks again for showing and explaining.
Now that is one neat hack. I gotta find those tools.
Andy look in the comments a amazon link was found by Intrade Motor.
Thank you Sir!
That's one useful tool, I must say.
Great tip mate!
I think it's great for a DIYer for sure. Cheers Victor
OMG ! I have got to get one of those kits. Thanks Steve
You know I was thinking you could use one. I pinned the first comment the link to amazon a viewer found them quite similar. Great little kit. Cheers
Never seen that before. Great tool!
I think is a good idea and wish someone could find it too.
So glad I am learning the good stuff here! :-)) You keep having fun, cheers!
HAHAHA it doesn't get any better than this. LOL
sure??? ;-)))
Cool tool Steve. I never knew that tool existed! Cheers mate!
You need one of them Rob for a time saver on ones without TPM.
I'm gonna have to get me one of those and keep it in the mobile repair box. Thanks for the tip.
Bruce it's a great addition if your into doing repairs yourself or out in the middle of nowhere. Cheers
Hey, another Wyatt is hanging around. I like that hack Steve. Nice bit of kit for the tool box!
Yes its a nifty idea for the farm buddy.
a handy tool for sure...I'm buying one and thanks for the link
Its works great , thanks for taking a look. Cheers
I've never seen such witchcraft...A cool tool.
That is a time saver for those in the trade. Cheers Mate
Have a old tire machine this will complement my tire tools, thanks steve.
Fantastic - yes it's a good tool to have. Cheers
forsure handy if you could still find one and you have an older vehicle
like you said most newer vehicles have tire pressure monitors
I've used it on my trailer tires and they can be a pain breaking down too. They may have it out your way at PA.
yeah, I am having the same troubles up here . repeatedly on my trailer. we offsite parking and someones thinking it's funny to boot stomp the stems. I am going to try to make one of those tonight, if I run into too much trouble I will look for one made in the USA. seems like there is a lot of China made ones that are not made well. I want to just keep one in the truck box. Great vid.
Your close up is awesome and clear but your describing things that are not i the shot. easy enough to figure out though for sure.. LOL it's just kinda funny.
That was something id never seen before. Have to keep my eye out for that tool.
Great kit , the only place its seen is amazon. A viewer put in a link to the first comment. Cheers
That was cool had no idea they made that tool thanks steve I look for it
Thanks Keith it's sold on amazon a link in the pined comment. Yes heavy equipment tires as well. A time saver on your stuff for sure and you have lots of trailer tires too.
thanks buddy
Guess the long ones are meant to be used with hubcaps that keep them from flopping or getting caught on stuff. Great tool kit to have on hand!
Comes in handy for me. Ck your PA next time you there.
Good tip, I'll have to look for that tool.
James if you find it let me know , it's great for a lot of off road tires still . Cheers !!
STEVE ROB Found it on Amazon; AME 51025 Quick Valve Change Tool $21.95 Found a different kit on eBay but only one left but I'm in touch with the seller for when it's back in stock.
STEVE ROB You're right for off road or beach guys it's invaluable!
Very helpful tip Steve, thanks man, appreciate it! cheers
Thanks and hopefully it may help others out too. Cheers
.....great presentation....nicely done....
Thanks Mark.
How cool is that. Great tip. Thanks
Wyatt it's a great tool and intrade motor found it , fantastic buddy . I will pin this comment so all can see.
Thanks for this - opens a whole new way of getting rid of the made-to-fail internal tire pressure monitors. These internal ones are just a way to make more money with planned failure.
Cheers Lee .
very well done steve, nice job
Thanks buddy !!!
I made my own like that in the 80's or did it like that. Could have been Rich. Good old Hacks work always.
Its a great time saver thats for sure. Yes a better mousetrap is worth a fortune. Cheers
Handy tool, I haven't had a need for it, but worth having in case.
Yes a good incase kits worth a look if your out in the boonies
That was very cool I've never seen that tool
It's not at PA any more but there is a link on the first comment to a similar one from amazon. Great for atv and trailer tires.
never seen anything like that looks pretty handy
I think is good if you just use it a couple of times .
Nice tool. I hate breaking the bead on tires.
I hope someone in america has a store that sells the kit still, I would let everyone know.
I haven't really looked for it specifically in stores, I'll have to start keeping my eye out. I only learned of that tool's existence a few weeks ago.
It's on amazon a link in the first comment.
Really, I did not know you could do this with rubber valve stem, lol well thanks a lot I will think of you the next time I have a broken valve stem! Thanks
A bit different and so easy with the kit . Only off road tires without tpm today. Cheers bud.
Good work Steve !
Thanks Norm.
Pretty cool I'm going to try it right now without the tools you have I'm thinking deep well socket I'll let you know how it work
Interesting idea , let me know Frank how it goes.
STEVE ROB REVIEWS socket didn't wrk
Guess it didn’t work or you Died driving to work
Hey I've got a few to do thanks Steve
Well there ya go Bruce you're all set, seems only amazon carries it so far.
That works really good.
I think its a must have out in the wood like me and no tire machines around. Cheers
That was awesome!…..a simple fix
Thanks Philip 👍
Never seen this tool Steve....I`m going to find me one.....it works just like it stood....could you put an inner tube in with this tool.....HA>>>>>HA
Hi Gator it's a great tool and its in the link on the first comment from amazon. Cheers
Thank you Mr.Hanks love all your films
👍
I hate when a tree branch grabs my valve stem! never seen the tool before Steve. Thanks for showing us!
I can't get over how many haven't seen the tool before. Yes it's a great kit for the farm Mike. Helga's birthday coming up ? LOL
Yeah I can give it to her for her birthday but guess who would end up doing the work with it!
fantastic!. sounds like you need to do some brushcutting😆
I will be doing some this fall showing how to make bush roads and I bet I tear out a couple of valve stems. LOL
Sealey sell them for about £17 but I got one on Amazon today from laser it cost me £10 good investment and thanks for the heads up great video
Cheers 👍
Well that is just fucking awesome. I have never seen a tool like that. Great video Steve. You taught this old fart a new trick. Too bad all the cars I own have tire pressure monitors. Oh well.
I can only use it on atv- trailer tires , wheelbarrow and such and they are some of the hardest to manage too at times. Cheers buddy.
$25 to replace value stem in NY. I like the idea of being able to fix something without having to rely on someone else even if the cost is about the same.
+Mike Blake Mike I just like to have the tools to depend on myself to fix something than someone else. This is such an easy way for most to do. I do change out a lot up at my northern camp in the woods on my firewood wagon getting snagged by branches. One hour drive to a tire shop so for me it's a must have. Cheers
Dude this will change my life lolol 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦
👍
Sealey, silver line or draper tools do them around, £12. I use it regularly at Roadside breakdowns. It can be used for a temporary fix with TPMS valves.
👍
Glad you mentioned the TPM's...thanks!
Cheers 👍
Looks good never saw one of those.
Interesting rig and worth every cent. Cheers Danny
Metal valve stems would work better?
Would this work on a motorcycle (there’s not much room between the valve stem and the rotors on my Versys 650)?
I have not done a motorcycle but I think the valve stems are not like automotive.
Mine uses TR-412s, just shorter than automotive by the looks of it but I’m not an expert.
What size is the hole at the bottom end of the insert tube?
About 1/2 inch .
Heck the tire pressure monitors. Who needs 'em !
I did fine driving for 40 years without them . Cheers
That is a great tool!
Would be handy on the farm you have a lot of valve stems. Link to amazon in pined comment Jay.
Thanks Steve! You'd think, but most of the time, if I get too close to something, I end up busting the sidewall. I think I will get this though :)
What about soapy water as a lube instead would that work as well and where do you find that tool ? Or what are they called so we can find the tools online
Eric soap and water works well too. I did see some viewers comment below with links to where they found this tool. Check out the comments and see if that helps. Cheers 👍
@@SteveRobReviews I found it but I live in the US so shipping is crazy from the uk to us they want 18.00$ shipping so I may hold off getting one right away but it is an interesting tool and looks very useful
@@ericrichardson3332 It does not matter location with ups and FedEx and money is no object. Can you please provide me with the link to buy it? Thanks.
Ur great Mate u put others videos to Shame thanks
Thanks Bud.
So if my car has a tire pressure monitor I shouldn't do this?
This is only for off road tires and no pressure monitor systems on older vehicles . I use this kit a lot for my trailers I use to haul firewood in the bush . Cheers
Antonio Martinez Nooooo.
Pretty slick! 👍
Neat idea and one I think the viewers will find useful. Cheers Terry
Bloody life saver you are, mate! *Subscribed*
Thanks Robert !!!
very cool didn't know they had that tool
It works great Keith especially if your pulling a trailer and some brush tears the stem off .
I second that comment About being more concerned about that rim Being is so rusted in flaky you're probably going to have an issue with more leaks because of either corrosion rust or what not Getting in between the tire bead and the wheel
The rim and the car are long gone . Good to demonstrate on . Cheers
Wow ...awesome thanks for the update ..now to search for that tool...)..….peace
Great idea!
Its a time save for sure. Cheers
Nice !!!!!! Steve !
Thanks buddy . I hope all's well out your way and your back to work now.
You just made my day!! I subscribed and smacked the bell!
Awesome, thanks James 👍
thats slickern shit..fantastic👍👍
I could have said it any better buddy :)
Cool gadget. Very informative. Thanks for sharing. Much Blessings to you. 🙏 Lord-Jesus-Christ ✝c✝o✝m
Thanks for watching
Wife got brand new tire and leaking same spot. You think i could do it without those tools?
Not if it's got tire pressure sensors inside - if not you can put a hydraulic jack on top of the tire bead , put under your trucks trailer hitch or something heavy that won't move and break the bead in just that spot and pull out the old valve and install a new one and no need to balance the tire since your didn't take the tire off. Don't forget to turn on the camera eh 😉
@@SteveRobReviews Lol i ordered the one you got, its a work car so old 2007 focus. No sensor. Thanks steve it was 50 dollars so ill send you the bill lol
👍
that's a great tool...
It's a tool I have gotten out of a jam with far back in the bush , just pop a valve in. Great idea. Cheers
