Valve stem install without removing tire! No special tools or screwdriver

- No tire machine to break the bead and install a valve stem, so I had to improvise. Other methods use screwdrivers which can easily damage the new valve stems and the person attempting the install. There are special tools that can be purchased to do this job, but I didn't want to wait. A few common components are all that is necessary. So be sure to lube up those valve stems and watch how it's done.
Sweet! Those valve stem replacement kits are a rip off at like $40+ now a days. I used a brake spring hook tool that I already had (everyone complains the hooks in those kits are cheap and bend. The brake spring tool is heavy duty and inexpensive) but then I needed a way to get the new valve in. Your funnel idea worked great. $0.98 at Walmart a I used three hose clamps to be sure it didn't break and it went right in with a few taps of my rubber mallet. The only issue is using a socket won't hold onto the valve and mine fell inside the tire. I fished it out after a while but for next time I'm going to buy one of those long valve puller tools that are cheap and thread onto the valve.
Very Very nice !!! Great help ! Appreciated. You ought to do more videos! Best Regards from Alaska!
didn't think it would work, good job I can use that tip!
Never use oil on rubber it will degrade it over time, use silicone oil or silicone grease .Interesting video.
Thank You
I still need to pull my old stem. Kinda wish yours was still in the wheel to show how you'd take care of that too! Good job!
It pretty much disintegrated and came out in pieces.
That wheel is rusty and bent, don't you think you could use a newer one? Just saying.....if you make a vid use a better wheel next time.
