Replacing a Tire Valve Stem Without Removing the Tire - Land Rover Defender

[@knackeredrovers]

Laser have a long history of supplying tools that actually really help fitters. Their reps used to actively ask what we needed rather than just punting out what was already in their catalogue like most of the other suppliers we dealt with. I will definitely be adding one of these to my kit. Hugely useful and potentially a real time/money/life saver.

A great tool owners of tubeless steel wheels should own. I used mine for the first time a few months ago on my trailer. It actually worked first time, I sprayed WD40 to help remove the old one which was easy and help the new one squish in place which was hard as shown but worked when I committed to it.

Great tool, thanks for sharing 👍

I generally fit my own tires by hand using tire spoons, so popping the bead and replacing the stem wouldn’t be an issue. But I can see this having value in a pinch when time is critical and breaking the bead may not be an option, or the bead is just a difficult one. The removal tool seems useful, but I see the install tools to be what makes the difference. An old core could be broken or cut off, or a tpms sensor could be unscrewed and pushed inside. Then the new valve could be installed with the remnants removed at a more convenient time.

Great to see how it was done, just got a valve changed this morning, £15

[@rustandoil]

I didn't know this tool existed..... Until the AA man fitted a new valve in one of my van tyres on the side of the A46.... I was impressed to say the least 👍🏼👍🏼

I bought myself a tyre machine and balancer some time ago and it has paid for itself many times over. I use bolt in valves exclusively that are much more robust that the cheap rubber units. The last time I looked the rubber valves were a few pence wholesale and I bought 25 bolt in valves for £1.69 each. The issue I can see with the tyre valve replacement system is it relies on the inside of the rim being clean enough to create a sea, which in my experience is not the case. This tool might be useful for a trail repair where the valve has been ripped by hidden branches/rocks, in which case there is a good possibility that the valve will split and leave part of it rattling around within the tyre.

Well I didn't know this tool existed. My garage did mine without charge last time, but this looks like a good tool to have anyway!

[@craig_chaznibond452]

Thanks for the heads up. Just bought one!

[@kalaharibushwarrior]

Well that is the most useful tool I have seen in a long time. I am going to order one right now!

[@cameronwood1994]

I'm going to order one of those tools to go with my tyre plug kit. It's so easy to rip a valve out off-road, and being able to do it at camp or by the side of the road without popping the bead would be so useful.

[@marksingleton7199]

That's really great! Thanks for sharing.

[@ey8486]

THANK YOU.... i am definitely ordering this tool set

[@forreststrong797]

This tool is awesome definitely adding this to my tire kit in the jeep. I have those repair valves that you can install from the outside of the wheel they work good they are a little spendy though but I really like this it looks like a good item to add to the kit it's pretty easy to tear a valve stem off-road.

[@jonny_wright]

You absolute legend. I had no idea this was possible.

[@reachforthesky1849]

Absolutely brilliant. I had no idea that existed.

[@carltonr3417]

That’s brilliant! Thanks for sharing that’s very helpful

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

I can just imagine some wally trying to use on his tubed tyres😂😂😂

[@888johnmac]

ooh , that is being added to my in-vehicle tool kit .. very handy for a trail fix

[@henrycolestage7650]

Not a bad idea to have even for tubes. It would help you keep the tube valve actually in the hole as you are fighting with getting the tire back on the rim! My rims are tube type rims that have been modified for tubeless so the valve stems are much bigger than modern ones. I doubt the white compression tube will fit mine but the two other parts of the set will be a great help!

[@glennj6465]

Very good video and great get out of trouble tool 👍🏻🤩

[@helidude3502]

I wonder if they make one of these to fit the larger valves found on older Ford vehicles 🤔

[@TheSussexpillbox]

I was initially about to jump right in and say don't be so stupid, but much like a man in orthopedic shoes I stand corrected.

[@chriskeep9461]

great tool. nice that you art just cutting the base and allowing it to roll around in the tire. dont use silicone, it contaminates for future rim painting and never goes away. soap is alright on steel but dont use it on aluminum as it corrodes. My current tire lubricant is antifreeze but would like to find something else. dont use wd40 etc. It ruins the rubber and is also silicone.

[@AnthonyTeasdale]

Wish I knew about this, Had to pay a garage to do just 1 valve that failed. this would of been way cheaper.

[@stefanandersson3774]

Thank you for sharing this great video 😊

[@ianwallett7438]

Getting one of them. Handy! 🙂

[@HeidiHennessey-ye3qq]

Hi Will, I'm looking to buy a Defender to replace my Freelander. Downside it needs to be automatic what year/model do you recommend? Heidi

[@RoverAddis]

Are the valves t415 or...smaller ones

[@Mike-gz4xz]

Great video thanks .

[@premier_attachments4971]

Nice video and had to change a valve on my rear tractor tyre , breaking the bead was a pain so this would have been amazing but the valves are slightly larger so a homemade tube on lathe may be needed if you can't find the right size.

[@fire44x]

Bought 1 last year for my 110

[@rude252]

What spritz was he using?

[@patrickwatters7555]

THANKS,. !

[@marklong2248]

Can you see any reason for it NOT to work on alloys?

[@lrworkshop]

I've just put the tool up against the boost alloys I have and think it'd be fine

[@erictyrrell3560]

What happened to all the diagrams on LRW?

[@gs188]

Given that there’s now a link to the diagrams on a JLR website which has a footer saying they are copyright JLR I’d assume their legal team has been in touch - a shame but at least the lists are still useable.

Will send you an email Eric
