HOW TO REPLACE A VALVE STEM WITHOUT BREAKING THE TIRE BEAD

[@johnbower]

Why change the valve when the valve is not causing the problem, the leak is caused by corrosion around the hole in the rim that the valve passes through.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I shouldn’t have to explain why but…..Easy anwser! Because if you’re out in the field, and you are on a four wheeler, car or 4x4 truck and a stick, rock or staub breaks the valve stem. You need a way to fix it without breaking the tire down. Who cares about rust around the hole you’re just fixing a broken valve stem. Not because it’s leaking. This will at least get you home.

[@Afistfullofdollars]

@johnbower You must be new around here. One of my 25 year old valve stems just cracked tonight, when I filled up my tire. That’s why I watched this video.

[@medamit]

Not always

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

@medamit 👀

[@peterdarr383]

He showed you with the soap that the valve stem leaked in just one direction. It had a crack at it's thinnest part. An alternative fix that I've done is completely deflate the tire and goober up the valve stem with Black RTV. Not the safest thing for highway use.

Tip- in colder climates, use a heat gun,or boiling water, to warm up the valve stems to help soften the rubber,for removal and for the refit. Excellent tutorial, thanks for taking the time to show us! You can do this with vise grips, or good chicken leg pliers in a pinch,use a punch or small screwdriver to help work the new stem in.. 👌🙏

[@stevenpatrick618]

Worked at Riverside Exxon in Chilhowie VA in the nineties, had an old (50’s?) tool that did this. Instead of pushing It did it with with air! Looked like a metal pencil (a lot like this tool with a casing) and had a fixed tire valve on the end. Invaluable, never saw another one similar till now. Thank you for sharing!!

[@maraudostrogoth747]

That's pretty cool. I've changed a lot of tires and valve stems in the past. This would have come in handy a bunch of times. The only thing that I would have done differently is to check the hole to make sure there aren't any sharp edges causing the stem to fail. You could lightly dress the edges of the hole with a small round file or a bit of emory cloth.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I’ve never in my 43 years of life ever seen anyone dress a valve stem hole.

[@tinamcgarrah7794]

Maybe a wipe down of the hole with a shop towel then a little silicone spray lube on the towel to coat the hole for ease of slide through of valve stem. BUT I personally wouldn't remove any of the holes inner circumference with anything, actually you could be causing more of a chance for a leak there. Just my 2 cents worth , a man can do whatever he wants with his own property though!

[@oh8wingman]

I appreciate what you say but I would be more concerned with shards of rubber and possible corrosion on the back side of the hole breaking the seal. It might be an idea to make a small scraper out of an old Allen key that could be inserted through the hole so the back side could be scraped clean before installation.

[@patrickmoore3717]

Now that's experience

[@jonhunt5408]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Changed a lot of tires, and done a lot of leak repairs involving replacing the valve stem and having to clean the valve stem hole. More so with aluminum wheels than steel, but sometimes there’s a sharp burr on the steelies that will slice your new stem and reintroduce that leak you just repaired. I’ve even had to drill out the TR 413 style hole for the larger .625 TR 415 style valve stem where rust had eaten the hole edge. While this would be handy in the field, I’d rather break the bead in the shop. You just know someone out there is going to ram that hook through a tube and either push the stem into the wheel or destroy the tube.

[@m37pw]

Only error I saw was not cleaning the hole in the rim. Many slow leaks I've found were due to dirt or tiny bits of corrosion in the valve stem hole. That being said, a great tool, and i love his channel!

[@Philscbx]

I was just going to say,, any corrosion, around valve stem hole,, game over if not removed... and treated. Typically the bead zone of rim also has corrosion. Tire removed, scrub tire bead with wire wheel of embedded rust scale in the rubber of bead, and if present, it will allow slow leak. Cheers

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I have never seen a Tire Shop clean the hole when installing new tires

[@jumboegg5845]

It was just a demonstration. When he takes the "old" stem out, you can see a lot of frsh grease inside the hole and on the "old" stem.

[@Philscbx]

@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 Right, of course not on new wheels. The point is strictly when corrosion is present on steel rims and not removing it first. So those who attempt repair, the cure is simply restore rim fully, the bead zone and stem hole, then recoat with good rust preventive measure. Otherwise if step is skipped, some will simply have an ongoing bad day,, and it's a crisis out on the road. Or your lawn looks like crap, all scalped down to dirt on one side every path with tire leaking. Cheers

[@MrMrsregor]

@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 but i don't think i have ever seen a tire shop do anything the correct way, they only do it the fast way. most of them dont even know about the red or yellow dot on the tire :( *Always* clean the hole before installing valve stem. i just finished replacing my valve stem because the previous person did not clean the hole and it was leaking around the stem due to corrosion and grime

[@JustinA.Wells-StatePolice]

I've been using this exact kit for a couple years now. It has worked every single time. My off road buddies actually paid me in some adult beverages to change theirs to stubby valve stems like I ran on my Jeep at the time. It is a real life saver.

[@YukonDemon]

This is a very cool tool!!! I did tires for 20 years, and in a tire shop it's just as easy to break the bead, but in a situation where you don't have a tire machine handy I could see this thing being a lifesaver!

[@thekingsilverado3266]

The seated bead on an ages old Mower tire and rusty old rim can be a daunting challenge and in most cases the mower tires are cheapo nylon so if U try to break the bead the tires rip and tear. In most cases a real shop vs a home owner consumer... A shop will put a tube in the tire we don't want the thing coming back in 2 weeks. Also that is to say how many times a shop will replace a leaking stem and then the tire starts leaking someplace else. 43 years of hind sight is crystal clear.

[@ianhill4585]

I'm an ex tyre fitter, at home I have two tyre levers and a bead breaker lever ( claw shaped ) Dunlop brand I believe? I got it in the early eighties ,any way, you clatter the claw lever with a club hammer at the top of the "claw" around the bead moving it around til the bead breaks down, then you'd take one tyre edge off using the levers to change the valve,----- you have to work for it,and you'll sweat , but you don't need fancy machines.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

[@don2deliver]

This is the only thing I could see that this would be useful for. But the only liquid filled tractor tires that I ran into had tubes, not valve stems. Maybe heavy equipment with a flat that starting to unseat the bead would cause it to drop more.

[@JoeBribem]

Rough on the bead to break and spin off to access the stem from behind. The only drawback I could see is if the reason the stem was leaking in the first place is if there was rust/corrosion in the sealing face of the stem bulb.

Recently, I had to move the trailer away from the house so that the siding could be replaced, and I temporarily got them to seal by adding e6000 adhesive around them, knowing that I wasn't going to be using the trailer in the road any time soon.

Wire brush it once the stem is out. Usually the flaking from corrosion causes the leak, so use a round wire brush to scrub the hole and knock the flakes off. Get some clear coat, the stuff used for paint touch up with a brush and slather some on and let dry then install the new stem.

Well, let me say two things about this. Once the valve is installed, before you screw the cap back on, inflate the tire and check for leaks. All of this works on a simple steel rim. If you have pressure monitors in your wheels, this will not work.

Wow I've been a mechanic only since today, but have known about this tool my entire life 😂💕👍

Wow,where was this 30 yrs ago.Thanks for the video.

[@Cheezeball99999]

Wild that this looked easier with the tire totally mounted, than the time I've always had replacing them after removing tires. Gonna have to order that for sure. Wow!

I watched my Dad do this YEARS ago with 2 screwdrivers that were worn rounded on the screwdriver working end... But this method has much more control....

[@jonnyshoestring9368]

That's impressive, it saves a tyre being rebalanced for a start. 👍👍👍

I've also used this tool to also put valve stems in well pressure tanks. Awesome video thanks!
