If this method doesn't work, lay the tire down under something heavy like a vehicle frame, hitch reciever, etc. Take a scissor jack or bottle jack and place it between the frame and the innermost part of the tire. Start jacking. If it doesn't pop loose, use a pry bar in the exposed bead to assist. Takes maybe 5 minutes tops.
A lot has to do with if your person that knows how to work with your hands as a 65 year old retired mechanic I enjoyed watching this video funny thing video I watched before the person bought a special kit designed to do this meanwhile this guy with a screwdriver and a drop of oil did it 10 times faster amazing
I'm impressed, I've been manually mounting my own tires for over 50 years. and doubted that could be done I wrote off the title of your video as click bait like so much YT crap. But you delivered. I''m impressed.
They do make a tool with a hook to remove it . Then a cone in the hole . Some lube and it's pushed through with a threaded rod . Your method also works .
Thanks for the tip! Saved me a ton of aggravation in breaking the bead on my atv tire! I put some slime in there also. Now I can get back to watching more important videos of cute cats that my wife sent.
Did this to my rear tire on 2010 Yamaha R6, and all I have to say is I have no idea how this man was able to accomplish this in under 3 minutes. Yes, it can be done. Yes, it’s a “simple” fix. YES, it took me almost 2 hours lol. I’m going to do this on my front tire as well, and am deciding to go the c-clamp method, as this one caused me so much headache and frustration. However, without this video I wouldn’t have know it could be done or how to do it, so I really appreciate that.
@@Tjs_powersports Yep, but, I've done it on both in less than 5 minutes just like the video. The steel is easier, like a couple minutes, but I use a smaller screwdriver that I rounded the edges so it's not so sharp and just use some WD-40 and it pops right in.
Thank you for the video bro That was so helpful I'm going to the country and fix my tires on my riding lawnmower today Thanks to you Again And May God bless you.
Wow. Thanks so much! Worked like a charm for me. Took 5 min. I soaked the new stem in hot water first and used some dish oil for lube. I also used vice grips to get about half of it in to start, then worked the rest in same as in this video.
Bro, I've got 2 words for you and this video: ROCK STAR You saved me serious stress and time with this! I was worried that I didn't have a dull enough flat-head so as to not damage the stems so I found some needle nose pliers (closed) and popped each valve in, taking less than a minute per valve. Initially I thoroughly cleaned the hole with a wire brush, then a round file, then super-soapy q-tips. Unreal! Store-bought tools are overpiced and provide no guarantee, and would just lilkely get you here. Thank you so much for the BOSS LEVEL instructional!!!
thanks great video .. had to do in on motorcycle on road 2 in the morning ,, thanks alot ,,it got me hom e.. i ended up tearing it a bit but it got me home ,, kept putting air in ir with hand pump ,thank u ,,anton
Thanks for posting. I've done that in the past, and it's worked out well. As you noted, the chief concern is sticking the screwdriver through the new stem, but a dull screwdriver and a little patience are your friends. And if you do happen to destroy one, as least they're not expensive.
My kind friend thank you so much for showing me this method because I've been catching hell trying to put mine in cuz I can't shove my big ass Tire down enough even though I've broken the feed and putting two pieces of wood on each side of the hole so thank you so much for this message. I mean it too thank you
Wow I'm stranded and I don't have that proper tool but I do have the new valve stem thank God I had that but I didn't know how we're going to do without the tool and you just saved me the biggest headache I was scared it's cold I didn't know what to do I don't have AAA I have no one to call for help you save me pal it worked and I'm on the road traveling again I owe a lot to you for this video
Thank you very much, this works for escooters with tubeless system, i repaired my ninebot max without using any equipement, thank you because i am poor student from eastern europe and a valve pressure thingy would cost me 40 euros which is a week of food. god bless you.
I bought a Nash Metropolitan that was in a barn for years. The stems broke as soon as I touched them. I left and went to napa and bought 4 stems. I did the same trick. The dry rotted bias plys leaked,but I was able to get it on a trailer and home without much effort.
Hey just installed one using this method, one thing I had to do was use a pair of pliers to grab and squeeze the valve stem because I couldn’t really squeeze and hold it with my fingers and then I used the technique of pushing it in with the screwdriver
This technique could be particularly useful offroad, where a tire shop isn't a viable option. This looks faster and easier than swapping to a spare tire. Thank you!
Many, many thanks, you just proved my idea that its possible to push the stem into the rim... i was just missing the details shown in your video... rubber is very flexible and easy to work with patience....
Excellente~ Proof is in the puddin😔 THANK YOU Warm the new valve. Don't mar the edge of the hole. A duller rather than a sharper screw driver, for obvious reasons.
Well, this just rescued me. Sure, sure, break the bead, use your shop compressor to re-seat it. Meanwhile, in the real world, sometimes all you have is a spare valve, some silicone grease, and a blunt screwdriver.
Many thanks, bro, I thought that it could be done without taking tire off the rim, I am going to try it on my spare tire, which seems like tire and rim are glued together.
Maybe soak it in 303 Protectant to make it more pliable and the residue will act as a lubricant . I know there are plastic pry tools for removing interior trim in cars , better than anything metal ?
Got a mini-bike tire, I can get it off with a jack and straps, i have learned, but feeling lazy right now after beating it squeezing it with hand clamps, etc. Going to do this.
a true yankee american patriot, can do attitude...thats how we do it !!!...thanks mate..no computers...just true grit...takes notes youngsters !!!......grab some tools, roll up yer sleeves and get over here !!
*Little moments that make me worry about my species...* like this one: what a perfect little video! Nearly 41 _thousand_ views! But not yet 4 _hundred_ Thumbs' Up?!?!? What is the matter with alllllllll of those people, who _specifically_ clicked on this video..... but who didn't think it answered their question??? I mean, doesn't that make You worry, too??? Sheeeesh. "SMH"
I tore off a valve stem in sand on my s by s and had to travel 5 km on 3 wheels . My daughter sat on the driver’s side bumper forward to keep weight off rear right flat tire. Hit a few bumps on the way and put a crack and a hole threw the aluminum rim. However a welder fixed that. Too bad I did not know this trick then. Now I can see we need spare valve stems and a screwdriver in all atv,s . Also our vehicles because Murphey’s law still applies.
We know there's a kid for that we know there's a special tool for that that isn't the point the point of this video is if you don't have that tool or special kit there's a hat then you can use his advice in a quick fix in a pinch get it that's what the video is all about in case you didn't notice I thought I'd bring it to your attention
Great video, and that has helped a lot of people over time, but there's a much easier way now. QuikStem will put a 200psi rated metal stem in your tire in seconds without pulling the wheel or breaking the bead out in the field where it broke. Here's an install in a tractor tire - the QuikStem in the video has been running in that tire for over 5 years now. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g6V5Vkz9Edg.html
That's the point of this video if you don't have the proper tool then he's showing you this hack and it's a good hack at that I just felt the need to bring that to your attention seems you missed the whole point of the video and the wonderful job and lots of Heartache he saved many people that don't have the tool at hand
Yes J, it is certainly able to be done this way when stuck in "no-where-s-ville" - however - if you have more leeway in time and opportunity there is this --- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HHgjfrNQlio.html
So you got the previous half of the valve stem just rattling around in the tire? Ngl, this method sucks... breaking the bead and putting the valve stem in correctly is easier than this.
NO!!! Don't EVER push a valve stem with a sharp object, it can create a cut which can slowly grow and you could end up with sudden failure, deadly on a motorbike!! Go look at how a professional does it, better still get a pro to do it and watch and learn from him not bozos on RU-vid!
I think people would understand not to do that this is when you're stranded and you don't have a choice this is a way to replace it if you don't have that special tool but your comment was very important and I do appreciate it because is important to understand that it could be very dangerous in the circumstances you mentioned
