Trying out a valve stem changing tool. Do not use on TPMS cars!

- Do not try this on your modern car. Use your head, fellas....
Did you know there's a tool to replace a valve stem without dismounting a tire? I didn't until I needed to quickly change some split ones on the race jeep. Don't do this on your daily...but its great in a pinch!

Word of advice, only try this if the replacement stem is warm. If they're cold the rubber won't be flexible enough and it can break the plastic cone that squeezes it into the hole. I've broken a couple before figuring this out.
You can also use a “Colby valve” stem. They’re tight. I keep 2 on me at all times
This was a life changing video. I been breaking the bead my entire life. I need those tools.
I own one short bed two wheel drive 87 Comanche 135.000 miles, completely original. Im the only owner legal, tagged runs great! New in, 87’ out the door… “my price” was $ 9,100.00 👍🏻🇺🇸
You have no idea how many times I could've used a tool like that. Nice truck 👍
Dude sick comanche
It's so nice that they make the tool now. Now Learn the old fashioned way to get it in.
But where can I find it in store
The best short yet on RUclips!
I have been changing tires since I was 14 years old and I am 44 now how did I not know this little tool exists?
When you mess around with the amount of old cars that I have/do this would save hours of work especially when you're messing with a tire that could have been on the car for 40 years or more (if you roll a dried out tire flat they are generally done for. I don't know how many times the valve stem was the culprit for it not holding air.
Now I got to buy this for my tow rig tool kit.
You're buying not only that tool but the super soft valve stems that come with the tool.... Don't try this with your garden variety valve stem. You have to heat it up and be quick lol.
Awesome tool saved me a few times.
Cute trick, thank you very much!
Nice, didn't think that somebody had made an actual tool for forcing them in the "wrong" way around
I did this, now my tire light is on….I also hear a rattle🤔
You done broke your tpms sensor off inside the tire. This will only work on cars with rubber valvestems. Take it to a tire shop and theyll break it loose ofd the rim and can replace it.
He was being sarcastic.
Thanks Wayne! Lol

40 years ago we had a brass version of that so you could beat a standard rubber valve in because there was no way you were pushing one in. FJB
I used to take those valve stem peices out with a cheap 1 dollar tool it was better than slashing tires
Great video
I've been doing tires in the automotive business for the past 40 years this is the first time I've ever seen this you know how much time this would have saved me over the past 40 years by doing it this way hours and hours of work done wasted by breaking a tire down installing it and rebalancing the tire afterwards what was this 40 years ago I work for Sears and Firestone they don't have nothing like this
Done did it for Dale!! Hell yeah brother!!!
Very cool!
I wish I had that install tool when I was a tire tech
Pretty slick!
I used a bigger funnel to jam the TPMsensor
Through the hole. It wouldn’t fit in that small one. Just use extra lube.
Love the Earnhardt paint job on the truck
Love it too, my family is related to the Earnhardt family back in the Carolinas. Not close but family reunion close.
@@x7slim8x that's so cool, I grew up in foster homes, Dale Earnhardt was and still is my hero
I haven't seen those tools in so long
My eyes didn't deceive me. The trick is to find really flexible stems if they're ever needed. Off-roaders may need them
This isn't what I thought was going to be but hey anyway nice tool good job
Tools cool but I usually just smush it in there
Never knew. Thanks
This is the kind of tool to get so that you never actually have to use it

As a young boy growing up in a tire shop, I never seen that tool
Because a tire shop have a bead breaker and its twice as fast to do it by breaking the bead and changing the valve the ordinary way.
Interesting tool, can’t you just break the one bead and pop a new one in? I’m just thinking drive up on a 2x6 to peel the bead down right by the valve stem, leave the vehicle sitting on it while you pull the new valve through then back off the 2x6 and ratchet strap the tire and seat the bead
Pain in the ass when you can hit a Big O and call it good in under 30 minutes...
I was right with you until you said ratchet strap the tyre... I guess that's some method of closing the rim/bead gap while you pump it up? I'd like to know what you do with the strap.
I use the solvent/bang method & I'm not entirely happy with that!
You can do that with a small flatblade screwdriver
Good one
Good deal 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Neat tool
Where does the bottom of the valve stem on the inside go? If I was too snip a valve and do same?
If you just snip the valve stem the flared part will end up in the wheel. If you are literally just doing it to roll the car around thats fine, but if you are actually going to drive it thats a problem. The hook pulls the whole valve stem out at least.
I used dish soap, it worked better than grease.
how hard do you have to YESSS
I prefer to use ASTRO GLIDE.
I have to get that tool
Whare do I get that tool set
Wow cool
Huh, there's a tool for everything.
Where can I get that tool
AME INTL Quick Valve Change Tool
On the jungle website
cone, back and all
how good is it to climb in to that truck
Not going to lie, it feels good.
Dude the Comanche is a sick little beast,, I had a 87 with the v6, what's that one?
It uses the 2.5 4cyl to comply caraway speedway's mini truck series, but it's pretty spicy
Yeah buddy hella good video!
And I kind of disapprove of that rare Jeep racecar But at sick though
Do a lot of people not have this tool or knowledge??
Everyone has TPMSs now. Can't pull or push them thru
What was the blue stuff? Soap?
Yeah car soap
Cool trick, still think it's easier to break half the front bead and do it the old fashioned way. Edit spelling
Where can I order one ?
Got mine on amazon, "AME INTL Quick Valve Change Tool"
@@ConeDodger240 was just able to find one thank you !!

You should have steel valve steams on the truck
I would never suggest using something like this as a permanent fix, but its a great quick fix to get something rolling again after sitting around for years, as this truck was.
I wonder if flexseal could fix a tire
I've seen people do worse... (please don't)
clearly said temporary fix. why not take the extra 5 minutes to pop the bead off of one side of the rim and install it properly. yes for larger tires that are difficult to work with the might help but for a standard tire like in the video it's just laziness. the reason why I dont pay people to work on my vehicles and equiptment is because I dont want corners cut . I want it done right the first time .
Bad tires, abandoned truck. Need tires to hold air for a bit to transport and move around the shop. Took a few minutes instead of an hour debeading tires and then hoping the gnarly old slicks would bead again.
It worked, let me get the truck running, and now it has all new wheels and tires, is running again after 10 years and has a whole new lease on life, so maybe get off your high horse and get out into the shop and do something.
@@ConeDodger240 I agree with the worst case senario you provided and like I said in certain circumstances this is a quick fix but . on a obviously perfect good condition tire as seen in video I would have took the extra time to make it a permanent fix instead of temporary. and no one is on a high horse buddy 😁
How is this a temporary fix ?
The valve stem is replaced, nothing left rattling around in the tire, so its no different than breaking the tire down and changing it !
TPMS Sensor?
Its fair that shorts don't really show video titles, but it is titled do not use on TPMS cars. Unless you like chunks of battery and sensor floating around.
I love you
everything is old school 🏫. They still use them doe doe
They have tire pressure monitors on them now. Put down the phone and go grab a wrench you got some learnin to do
As long as it doesn’t have a pressure sensor on it otherwise you have to break the bead.
Then you throw it away and flip the LED off the dash cluster pcb
Or just break the bead next to the valve stem and get your hand in the gap
When you get new tires, you should get new valves.
Life span on tires AND valves is 10 years.
If the valve is that aged,, the tire probably is too.
is that a frickin Dale Earnhardt Jeep Commanche!?
Short track racing truck built in the 90s now used for rallycross! Dale yeah
@@ConeDodger240 Nice! lol
@@ConeDodger240 my dad used to have an old Jeep Comanche that had like 8 coats of spray paint on it with 300k+ on the clock. That thing wouldn't stop 🤣
Here I assumed you had to break the bead to install them from inside
Yea that’s the way they do it at tire shops, and like mentioned above, you can only do the method in the video with a softer more flexible valve stem, you probably won’t be able to do it with a standard one, i rather break the bead and install it from the inside using the standard valve stem than to use a softer material when it’s really no harder to break the bead and install from inside, worst comes to worst a tire shop will charge you $5 bucks for the new valve stem and installation
It's quicker to just break the bead in that spot, push the tyre down n change the stem
How is that?
There is no way you can remove the wheel, break the tire down, install a new valve stem, blow the tire out on the rim, then mount the wheel back on the vehicle as quick as this can be done.
WHAAAAT!
i n s e r t i o n c o n e
This is easier done without the tool. A hook is good for removal of old stem. And lubricating is essential for tight fits. But the funnel is more than its worth. A dull screwdriver will suffice. Pinch lower section and start insertion. Using screwdriver push the lower section into the rim using small bites working around the hole until only a slight pinch and a push sinks the valve stem to proper position. Inflate and check for leaks.
REALLY? ER DER I HAVE METAL VALVE STEMS AND I THOUGHT I'D HAVE TO REMOVE THE TIRE! AND IT ONLY TOOK A SLEDGE HAMMER A PUNCH AND A BIG A-(EDIT)-SS SWING! WHAM!
This only applies to non TPMS systems. This will only work with 5%-10% tires on the road.
Think you might be a bit surprised how many pre 2000 cars are still out there, but it's a niche tool for sure.
It will work on 100% of the vehicles I drive !
Including, and especially, lawn mowers, which I've had to change two separate valve stems on in the last two weeks !
Someone found this on aliexpress?
Cars eyes should be the headlights and I will die on that hill. Also the jungle website... the snapon truck doesn't come by my home shop to fleece me often m
Those dry rotten valves shims go well with those dry rotten tires Lol
😀😀😀😀😀
It's riding on proxies R888's and gravel rally tires now, doing road racing and rallycross, but sometimes you just need to get some air in the tires to roll the thing around after sitting for 20 years.
What a bad a$$ race truck… 😊
Seems pretty permanent to me
If you had a broken valve stem, sure. But if they are this dry rotted the tires also need to go, at which point I would and did replace them with a high quality valve stem not the soft rubber ones.
So al you had to do was break bead of tire and install. Cheaper and just as fast if not faster. No thanks
Make sure you don't do this on a car with tpms
Umm,when you ripped the old valve stem out the bottom piece fell into the tire which can cause an imbalance.
Super interesting tool and would be awesome for DIY stuff, but coming from a shop damn it seems like a pain in the a$$😂
Where do you buy this...
Got mine from the jungle site, just search "AME Quick Valve Change Tool" there's a few different versions out there.
@@ConeDodger240 thanks
Did you extract the old valve completely? If not you have a rattle in your tire!
that would be awesome for a temporary fix to get s guy home. sweet find
Bingo! And then get home, unmount the tire and correctly install valve stem. Congratulations you just did double the work here is your mask🤡
@@Carlos-lh3bq umm what double the work... so your saying in the back country you want me to unmount a tire just to put a valve stem in??? when I could use this to get me home?.. and do it properly..... sounds awesome to me just like tire repair kits it'll get you home but you should repair it properly when you get home
You got the right idea Paul, and don't you worry once that other fella gets a license not made out of construction paper he'll come around.
@@ConeDodger240 haha well said
Ok jeep nascar 👍 bet that's fast.. 4.slow and all
best you have? that's why you lose.
