Warm up the stem with a hair dryer and use silicone grease instead of soap water to lubricate during installation. Goes right in like butter every time. No more fuss.

Thank you VERY MUCH for demonstrating this kit and ESPECIALLY for spending all the time trying out both generic and AME valve stems and trying to figure out the difference between the two!! Very helpful. I don't have this kit yet but, I need to buy it. I have a Well Water pressure tank with a rubber schrader valve stem that's leaking. Since there is no way to get inside the tank I need to change out the valve stem from the outside- just like you did with the truck rim. It's either that or buy a new well pressure tank for ~$800...

First of all use grease to lubricate the valve stem I've done this many times secondly you do not pound rubber because of its elasticity it just bounces back you have to use hard steady pressure and it will pop right in there I would love to be there and show you how to do it

If the kit costs over $25, it would be worth it have it done at a shop. Realistically, how many times have most of us ever changed the stem and how many times will we do it? For the average Joe it’s a no brainer in my opinion. Let the pros do it.

Get a bead breaker and then you can insert any rubber valve stem you want by leaving the tire mounted and just breaking the bead next to where the valve stem is located. Then install the valve stem from the inside of the wheel and use a valve stem puller tool to pull it through the hole by threading to the threads on the valve stem and pulling it through. No rebalance will be needed.

@@jonyjonsy Yes, due to the unusual polymer structure of rubber.. When the long chains get heated and vibrate, they actually shorten, causing the rubber to contract.. Warming the rubber also allows it to be less rigid, and you can pop the valve into place more easily.

when you figure 60 or 70 psi on that tire I'd be concerned with it spitting out. Put new load range d tires on my suburban and after THREE of the stems delaminating from the core sleeves, I have had enough of the chinesium rubber valve stems ....and so I sit waiting for Amazon to deliver my stainless steel set. For some reason they just BLOW OUT sitting still (thank God). been around cars all my life and mounted several hundred tires over the years and THIS is a first for me.

I've done it prob three different ways.. Heat the valve up and pop it in.. Using a small flat blade screwdriver and pushing it in a little at a time.. and breaking the bead with a jack, then pulling it through from the inside. Breaking the bead is prob the easiest for me.. but the others do work. Understanding that heat shrinks rubber and makes it less rigid.
