Brilliant this is what you tube does best. Teaches you how to save money. You sir. Are a gentleman.

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.

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.

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

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.

I probably wouldn't use oil. Use something like glycerine. Some oils will damage the rubber.

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.

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.

Lol I just ordered a $38 tapered cone for doing that, can’t believe I’ve been taking tires to a tire shop for 50 years for this, good one ☝️👍

SHE SAID.."THERE'S NO WAY THAT THING'S GONNA FIT IN HERE" 🍷😎👌

wow ! worked for me... takes some patience i put the rubber in hot water first + lube with dish soap.. kewl THANKS!

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!!!

I just happened on your video and I need to do this to a foam filled tire that you cannot break the bead on so thank you very much

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 .

....another useful piece of info for the artillery ....thanks...next leaky stem gets this treatment

Thanks for showing that it can be done this way. I was able to do it fairly quickly after watching this. Cheers!

Worked like a charm, only lost a third of my flipper finger. Jokin' Thanks for video.

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.

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. I have been trying to remove fix my mower. both rim and tire are totally stuck. thanks

Thank you!! Worked like a charm!

Thank you so much bro. You saved me a lot of time and energy :)

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.

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

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

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.

Thank you for this video man!

Thanks a million, it worked .

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!

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.

Wow, I did not know this was possible. Thanks for the info!

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

Nice! I wonder if it helps to warm up the stem to soften it a bit.

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.

Wow thank you so much saved me money lol. I'll try this soon.

It works. Thank you.

Whew! Was able to do it on a snow blower wheel, but what a PIA. Took 15-20 minutes.

So can you still fill the tire with water ballast as well

Thank you!

What is the size of the valve stem hole? Mine is about 0.375” on my front rims B3030 tractor

Outstanding!

how did you get the old valve stem out?

Wondered if this could be done, now I know!

Thank you very much 🙂

Going to try this with my fourwheeler

Great. Thanks!

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.

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....

Good on you thanks,like fitting a tyre I'd guess little bites at a time be the key

Simple - good job

Good tip,

Exactly how you do this , done it for years

I’m gonna try it

There’s a new stem that doesn’t need to pushed in with a tool it needs to be compressed with a 12mm hex

You saved me $500 thanks

do the same thing on a scooter and also can you use a car tire valvesl on a scooter tire valves

Outstanding

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.

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.

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 ?

That's how I do it. I was curious if anyone else used this method. I have a rounded off screw driver that i use.

Good to know

thanks!

Dont know if this will work for me but I'm about to try it

Assuming you just start filling air back into it to get the back part to pop back into the tire?

It also takes a person that uses a step bit while others out the hole that hole is huge

I use a screwdriver with the sharp edges knocked off and s big needle nose pliers to help start.🧐

Damn Skippy 👍😀

Real quick🤔 A picture is worth a thousand words 🤔

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 !!

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.

Tire shop charged me $9 to replace one on my trailer tire.

*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"

Think a funnel might work, if its the right diameter.🤔

there is a kit available for that

🙏🏾

Weirdly , I see similarities in this story to pre-natal classes for first-time mother’s -to- be. Davox.

How do you get the stem out?

Is it really a big deal if bottom of broken valve stays in a car tire?

I think the valve stem would be full of holes by the time you got it pushed through

Possibly Lucas or another very slippery oil might make it easier ?…….

There's a tool made for this, even easier than a screwdriver, way faster and no sharp edges whatsoever.

Oil ??? Silicone 👍

Yes it works but its better to break the bead and change the valve. At least you will know that its not bodged. A few minutes well spent.

That's some skill right there. I've done it and it was a bitch!

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. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/n2aHaYyisW92xZs.html

this is so hard...

There is a tool to do that properly w/ no damage to the stem or operator in less time

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 --- ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gHiYnpyphYedyqM.html

some tire shops will refuse to do any repair on a tire over ten years of age. total bull crap

HARD TO GET VALVE STEMS. MANY CAN'T. YOU HAVE CONTACTS

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 UKposts!

good video but to much talking
