How to replace a tire Valve Stem without special tools at home
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2018
- I will show you how to change a car wheel valve at home without any special tools - no tire mounting machine needed. Using only basic and primitive tools. To remove the valve stem core, I used just a cap that screws onto the other valve stem to give more leverage, but only pliers can be used instead. Super quick and 0 cost DIY valve replacement.

This is not special tool! This is simple valve stem cap, usually founded on bicycles.
If you don't have this type of cap, use small needle nose pliers, or cut slot in nail or something similar.
Thank You!
Order a pack of those caps from Amazon and put one on every vehicle you have, so you always have one handy. The tire store always steals mine, and they hit rocks and get damaged, so I put one only on the jeep spare.
Very good video, but people should be aware that motor oil will harm the tyre valve. The tyre valve is a mix of rubber and neoprene which can be harmed over time by oil. Would strongly recommend the use of soapy water which is just as effective & dries out giving a seal that will last without any harmful effects.
Im glad you mentolend that
Great video. Loved the nail /cap hack
Your the best!!! I always get help from RUclips, but did not think there was something for this. Thank you!
Really appreciate it. Also I have video on how to remove valve core in 3 different ways without special tool if you interested: ruclips.net/video/cU1cDvGcwNA/видео.html
Thanks, you just saved me from buying that little 4 way tool that is used in so many other videos on this topic. Great video.
Thank You, glad it helped
I just bought 1 from AutoZone for $1.99.
What is that heavenly hypnotic music?? It’s got me standing up and shimmying my hips back and forth like I am one with the beat! " MARTHA come here! " something’s happening!!!!!
I can hear Prince 's voice in it, no?
Thanks. Perfect just what I was looking for.
Great to hear!
The wheel looks like it has seen better days !
I liked that you checked your work for leaks before just putting the tire on, getting on the Autobahn with the car top down and a few girls finding out the HARD way.
Got to be sure :D Thanks
Thank you. Didn't know it was that simple.
You're welcome!
Top video, many thanks from me in Edinburgh, job done. My purchases - valve stems and a Silverline make 4 way tyre valve repair tool to loosen/tighten the tyre valve and to attach to the new valve stem to pull it into place: Total cost £3. I already had a cheap tyre inflation compressor that runs from the 12v socket in the car. Issues - all went well until I tried to rebead the tyre but couldn't get air in fast enough to reseat it. Solution - raised up the side of the tyre opposite the valve 6 inches so that the wheel was clear of the ground. Then started the compressor and stood on the wheel on the unbeaded section and bounced gently up and down pushing the wheel downwards into place. As I did this the tyre quickly started to take air and popped into place. P.S. For those considering using the alternative replacement method using the tool that punches a new valve in without having to unbead the tyre. It will work if you have steel wheels but i'm not if you have alloys due to the access hole for the valve being recessed.
Thank You!
I just subscribed Bro’. This is really good info and the tune is pretty cool too.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it
Oil attacks rubber. Use soapy water. This is probably why the first valve stem was leaking.
You are probably right but I can assure you, this small amount did not do any damage and that wheel holds air till today. And old stem is probably old as car
The video I was looking for. Thanks man.
I am glad that it helped!
Amazing thanks for the video :)
No problem!
Absolutely perfect video. Could use a bit of text but other then that it's perfect
Thank you very much:)
Great video, very clear. Not a fan of the music, muted it.
Thanks!
Never use oil! Dish soap.
Why?
@@wildestcowboy2668 Petroleum oil can break down the rubber over time. Most use soap or silicone grease.

@@mail-qh2qc 😂😂😂
That's a real Rube Goldberg bead breaker!
Great tip thanks!
Thank you was veary helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
A side note, since there's no actual sound there... A hissing sound and quite strange smell (to some) will be present when you remove the valve core. Another is, a popping sound of the tire when it seats right to the rim (sometimes very loud) which might surprise some peopl who knows nothing about what they're doing 😁. Good info here. Keep it up eh
Many thanks for addition
If they don't what they are doing take it have it done.
Great job! Thanks for the video! but would the oil eat the rubber? Maybe better to use soapy water like dishwashing liquid.
Thank you :) Little of oil is fine it wont do anything bad for rubber but sure you can use any lube or nothing, that is just to make easier slip in without damaging. (already 8 months after this job and Its all god for me, no leaks)
Never use dishwashing liquid ,it contains salt & will corrode alloy & chrome steel wheel rims .& some oils will attack various rubber & man made materials . Just use mild hand wash liquid ,that contains no bad stuff to corrode or rot your wheels or rubber valve stems .
Waterproof silicone plumber grease is made to grease and seal rubber o-rings and rubber faucet washers. It will also work with rubber tire valve stems.
Thanks!
That helped!
My man, the nail is genius
You can say that he nailed the idea lol
Talk about improvising, Nice
Awesome video dude!!!
Get tool kit at Walmart Canada Okanagan. Oddly they don’t have valve stems, one of the boys in automotive department gave me one thanx to all...
Thanks :)
Never use oil, it damage the rubbers.Use soap instead of oil.
Best film of the genre
Thanks
Don't use motor oil, it will break down the rubber. Use dish soap, or soapy water, or even just water.
It is good advice in theory but in my practice nothing happened
Este vídeo si que sabe el como no dañar la válvula y usar el saca pivote felicidades
Wow this is a awesome tutorial !!!!❤️
Blessings and more blessings to you and your family in Jesus name Amen
Thank you
Just the kind of video I like: Not a bunch of talking, just showing what to do with a little chill background music. Thanks man.
I appreciate that!
Thanx 👍👍👍
Helpful video but the music BLOWS!
Petroleum products eat rubber. Using soap on the new valve stem won't damage it. LOTS of soap.
And K- Y jelly.....if you have any extra laying around 😬
Vegetable oil works good too. Just no petrol oil.
Can I use multi purpose grease instead of oil?
Corry R thinking the same. Rubber and petroleum products don’t mix
Looks like you put black bead sealer between the tire and rim before you seated the tire with air pressure.
Is that correct?
Silicone grease in lieu of motor oil
Great vid, can't you push the stem out instead of cutting it? You push the new one in could it work the opposite way for removal?
Thanks, probably you can but that should be difficult and either way it shouldn't be reused
Can I do this when my tires have a TPMS ? I wouldn’t wanna damage the sensor if I do this. One of my tires keeps loosing air. Thanks
You can, but there is whole different mechanism, and different valve stem, just search picture how looks TPMS, it's quite complicated.
I've used the base on a bumper jack to break tires down before.
Now days bumper jacks and vehicles you can raise with one are getting hard to find.
True
Like the music u used in this video now I never go to the garage again
Oil and rubber don't mix well
I had great difficulty inflating . really hard to push the tyre beading over the vaulve area, Luckly I had tyre leavers.
Use a ratchet strap around the tire to compress the tire to conform tight to the rim.
Ad are high volume with out vale core untill tire seats against rim.
Then take off rachet strap and fill tire to correct air pressure
@@beachbums2008 Thank you for that excellent pointer. I'd seen that done over fifty-five years ago and had actually forgotten that.
Good IF you don't have the right tools. With a valve change tool kit (less than 20.00 USD) you can do this without removing the tire and in less than 2 minutes. Oddly, very hard to buy a good one in the US or Canada. I ordered my from the UK through Ebay.
Yes that is all point, when you need fast at home and don't have tools. Otherwise just take it to tire shop it is cheap.
istvan meissler
Walmart they have them in Canada .
Bought one yesterday
Oh ok. Let me try this again.
Ended up using some good old spit and my hardwood nail extracting thumb...😂
The best rustproof oil is Ballistol
The tire store seems to use soapy water to seat the bead. Hard tire users can spin a tire on the bead, or peel a bead that otherwise would have held if you leave oil on it.
Great video, thanks. I’m going to use your pliers trick but substituting soapy water for oil.
Good point 👍 But after driving many miles I can assure you that the oil has not caused any problems for me.
I use starting fluid and fire to bead my tires
Ok. Now you can clean 🧽 the damn rim with soap 🧼 and water 💧.
Bonne vidéo !!!!!!
Everything is perfect except for the oil part.
Should have used WD40
Jais jamais réussi même en regardant la vidéo
Nods head to beat😎
time for some new rims
Problem is you need a compressor that's capable of moving a lot of air faster then your normal air pump in order to seat the tire back to the rim.... Which most people don't have either
To solve that, take a long enough rope and a long bar to make a turnaquett around the center of the tire.... a small compressor is just fine. I’ve replaced many valve stems this way, piece of cake.
This is a how to change a valve stem video..not about seating a bead, or airing up a tire and re installing...etc. stop being a hater.
@@johnbattista9519 I had great difficulty inflating . realy hard to push the tyre beading over the vaulve area, Luckly i had tyre leavers. thanks for your idea.
judgenap , glad I could help. I was never a fan of using WD-40 and a match. Using a long rope around the centerline of the tire always worked to close the gap of the bead and rim to start the initial inflation.
Ratchet strap.
I appreciate your time and effort, but 7 just convinced me thar it is worth paying $5 for the tire technician to fix this for me
I agree with you, in most of cases its better to trust this job for professional!
Are those bubbles coming from that newly installed valve stem?
No
That thing you're screwing is actually a special tool
That is valve stem cap, usually founded on bicycles.
Othervise use small needle nose pliers, or cut slot in nail or something similar.
That’s technically true, but nitpicking because any sacrificial thing you can thread on there would work. If you can inflate and deflate tires in your driveway, you probably have several options.
um no it's not.
Oil on rubber is an absolute no no rite off the bat, silicone spraywould be more appropriate thing, of dishsoap..
what is the part you used to pull the valve stem?
To unscrew valve itself I used bike valve stem cap, it is just screwed on other broken valve stem. But you can use small needle nose pliers or cut slot in bolt.
Ben Dont looked like a cap drilled for a nail... for $3.99 just buy the puller.. pops the stems in less than a second.
Should of pulled stem with vice grip pliers.
Whats the tool at 3:00 that you used to pull the stem?
Metal valve stem cap with hole and nail poked through
Sometimes the simplest things escape my mind.
Like putting a little boat through the cap🤦
BOLT
When assemble tire by fire flash, is better assemble stem afterward because otherwise vacuum pull tire off, if it is in place. Wire for pull it in hole works.
In this video I didn't used fire to inflate tyre.
@@Work_G But if someone doing so, advice is useful.
Helpful video but the music was annoying
Thank you for the feedback!
I used a a bike pump and pulled and some Vaseline
Most important thing is that it worked, good job ✊
that oil you put on there gets inside the rubber, in the winter the salt will force it out and you will have a cracked valve stem again, save that other one from the pack lol
But in real life that didn't caused any issues for a few years of daily driving
dope ass music
Now, show us how to install stem without separating the tire from wheel?
You cant
never put motor oil on rubber
I wrestled my tire over the rim with 2 big screw drivers and alot of curse words, would not recommend lmao
Ya that would be a tool
Exactly
I think the hardest part is removing the rim from the tire.
True
Can you just remove the gold tip?
No, if I understand your question right. There 3 pieces - cap, inside piece (valve) and whole rubber stem with threads (that gold tip)
Oil on rubber are you mad?
Valve and tyre?
Soap, washing liquid, etc !!!!
Relax, that small amount will never ever do anything bad for rubber. I can say that after 2 years it still holds air tight
Are you supposed to use GM oil on that BMW rim? WARRANTY VOID
I used what I had, soap works fine too
@@Work_G i appreciate the video, it saved me a few bucks!
@@anotherbeard667 I am happy that this helped
Motor oil will destroy that valve stem in a year, use soapy water
May be in theory, mine is fine ~ 2 years
That is definitely a special tool
i kno a guy who ca push them in from the front by hand
OIL CAN RUIN THE RUBBER VALVE STEM ITS BETTER TO USE A SOAPY WATER TO LUBE THE RUBBER VALVE STEM
Song?
Check description, link is there in bottom :)
Top Tip! don´t use that brick and vise on your Lamborghini rims!
Good one :D I guess if can afford lambo can afford visits to service :D
What’s the size
If you mean rim size its 15
Maybe different music would be better
Probably 🙆♂
Yeah no special tool! Only simple press tool! LOL
That "special tool" as you call is bike valve stem CAP. I wouldn't call that special because almost everybody have that and if not it cost cents. You can unscrew that valve with needle nose pliers or buy real special tool which use tyres shops both ways you spend much more than I show in this video. Be realistic in YT there is mutch more clickbait...
GetWork he was talking about the press used to break the bead of the tire im pretty sure
@@bballkid7409 pfff :D To break the bead that is simple brick and emergency car jack, which can be find in almost every car trunk :D
Says you don’t need special tools but proceeds to pull out special tools 😂
In this video I didn't use any of special valve stem removal tools that tyres shops use....
So a pair of pliers and a valve stem remover are "special" tools to you ??
“Without special tools” - uses valve stem removal tool. Most people would consider that a special tool and wouldn’t have it around.
Read pinned comment dude...
Thank you
At 3:54 in your video
What?
This definitely doesn't work with a plastic valve stem. I tried it in a pull the nail right out
You can pull it with pliers, but be careful don't damage threads or rubber part
Music weird
No special tools huh? Ugh what about the tool you used to break the bead? I don't even know what that was that you used. Therefore, to me it looks like a special tool. Especially considering i don't know the name or how to even use it properly.
That was brick with simple emergency jack which can be found in almost any car... And if you dont imagine how to use basic tools you probably shouldn't work on your car.
Wash the damn rim.
Didn’t work. Tore the stem in half.
How?
Nice video on the how to. Crappy music though. Would much rather listen to Truman Capote narrate how to do this job than listen to that atrocious "music".
Thank you. You can always press mute.
Just pony up a few bucks and buy the cheap kit from Amazon . (AME 51025) Quick Valve Change Kit
And stop the madness 😠
