Valve stem replace Without tire removal *2 METHODS*

[@reddogknives]

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

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's awesome. My first healer was 100% deaf and was fully taught in sign language by me. My current dog is taught everything in both sign and spoken which has been very handy. I think they say the only dog that's as smart is the Border Collie but I have no experience.

[@bluegrallis]

@@sixtyfiveford I have a Cardigan Welsh Corgi that is exceptionally smart. Maybe not exceptional if you ask my sister, because she has the mother and 2 sister that are also very smart. My pup knows many things by sign, instead of spoken, because I taught him both. If he licks a paper plate clean, and I ask, "Are you done with that?" he will bring it to me to throw away. I tried to get him to throw them in the trash for me, but the first time the container moved when he jumped up leaning on it and he won't do that again. My bad for first impressions.

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.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Very cool!

Just to let everyone know, I’m 35. Been doing all kinds of mechanic work my whole life. I guess I got spoiled working at dealers and independent shops and having equipment. Well, I find myself today in need to put a valve stem in a caster tire on a mower. At home. No equipment. And this video comes in clutch. Never have I ever thought of putting one in this way but it worked great. Just used WD-40 and needle nose pliers and a flat blade screw driver. Totally recommend

[@sixtyfiveford]

Heck yeah!

[@bobmcl2406]

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!

[@sixtyfiveford]

I like the way you think. I break out the slime all the time on steel rims that have some pitting to ensure I have a good bead seat.

[@pidgeiam4979]

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👍👍👍👍

[@corey6393]

20 years ago I had three of four stems fail on my VW camper. They were less than a year old and I had my local tire shop install new tries and stuff back then. When I brought them in for replacement, they told me they had a bad batch of stems they had bought in bulk and were swapping out dozens of them for customers. I am guessing it was the same issue you spoke of in the video. Never knew you could replace stems without breaking the bead. Will try this next time. Thanks for the tip.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Looking online I guess around the mid 2000s there was a huge recall. B ut because they had sold them everywhere worldwide they couldn't track them all down. I think I bought a bag that was meant to be disposed of and wasn't.

[@twistedhillbilly6157]

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..

[@sixtyfiveford]

I guess they had a recall back in 2005ish that affected millions of valve stems. Since then people have been selling them unknowingly or intentionally to make lost profits back. That's what I got here. I've never had an issue with failing valve stems.

[@twistedhillbilly6157]

@@sixtyfiveford That makes sense,, I always look for the bargain and I bought a bag on EBay,, I thought the oil was just drying out before I installed them..
