I was just about to book bike in to garage to get valve changed, watched this video and realised you can change the valve stem without removing tyre. I popped down to Halfords ( 4 new stems and tool for less than 9 quid the lot) and had the job done in a few minutes. All fixed now and saved quite a bit of money. Thanks a lot.
Great video. I had a slow leak which I determined to be the valve stem. I had loaded up the tire to take to the tire shop when I found your video. Method #3 worked for me and only took a few minutes to do. Saved me a trip to town and some money. Thanks a million.
Some good tips there ; I have used those valve tools all my long life and never appreciated all of their functions, (especially with tubeless). A while ago I had a tubeless trailer spare with a slow leak around the rim , rather than take it to the tyre shop I tried something I’d not done before. I broke the seal on both sides of the tyre , cleaned it up as best I could then applied a generous dose of black molasses to the the seal between the tyre and the rim. I then quickly inflated the tyre , washed of the excess molasses and did the water/detergent test , no leak and is still quite ok 6 months later. Davox.
Brilliant - 3 cheers for guys like this and RUclips. This great video just saved Christmas after 2 (large national tyre companies) turned me away with a sticking valve causing the tyre to go flat overnight. Both depots said they couldn't take any bookings until middle of next week, despite having no vehicles in the bays and 2 fitters stood around chatting! I came home, watched this great guy, went to a local accessary shop, paid £6 for the tool and 4 valve cores, fitted inside of 5 minutes - and that includes moving the car, letting the remaining air out, fitting the new core as fix 2, then refilling to pressure. job done and problem solved. Merry Christmas Dave - you're the man!👍
Thank you for this informative video! I had an issue with a tiny leak from the valve stem on my motorcycle. I just had the tire replaced and the shop didn’t bother to check the stem. Fix # 3 did the trick. Thanks again for posting your vid.
Thank you, my man. I tried the easy option first. The stem wouldn't turn until i sprayed some penetrating oil on it, then gave it a couple revolutions, and leak solved! My son is very happy he doesn't have to fill it up at least once/week.
Amazing! I had no idea there was a core tool or that you can replace valve cores. Or that they screw in and out! Extra cores and a core tool will be essential for me from now on. Thanks!
My goodness thank you so much for this video. A couple times watching this video, a $4.99 tool and about 30 seconds to slightly untighten and retighten my vale core and no more slow leak on my tire. I was concerned about doing it with the tire still on my car but it didn't seem to matter. Again, thank you!
Dude you’re a genius. I was having the exact same issue. Finally found it was the valve stem. So I went to the auto part store bought that exact same tool and did fix number 3 and it appears to have worked. I never would have figured that out. Thanks so much.
I gotta ask if you break the top of the rubber and the round piece of rubber fallls into the tire what is the worst that can happen with just a round piece of rubber bouncing around in the tire? Its not a screw or something.
Thank you. You helped me solve a leak out of a valve stem. Tire shops are too busy to get me in for 2 weeks with winter coming so this was a huge help!!!
@@Carl_wheezer222 In Canada, before winter, there is an insane rush at tire shops in the fall for winter tires. Easily, you will wait three weeks for service if you dont make an appointment earlier.
Great and valuable info. Methods 3 and 4 are often successful. Tip: If you're going to get involved in this, investing in a good valve replacement tool kit, such as the Laser 5540, will make things much easier. Holding and manipulating the valve is far superior, and you can push the valve far into the wheel and get good access to the hole without worrying about losing the valve inside the wheel. You also have the option of replacing the valve. Compressed air is great for cleaning the hole and dislodging problematic stuff. Silicone oil spray is also a great lubricant for this kind of work (but if you plan to use gasket sealant then don't use any lubricant).
this was quite informative, in my case it was the fix nr.2 the screw got loose while trying to check the pressure of my tyre. I dint even know there is a screw in the valve. thanx mate!👍. just tingtened the core screw with a thin screw driver and problem was solved.
Cool. I have a mountain bike rear air shock with Schrader valve (Fox). It kept losing air and I serviced it thinking the seals were worn. Turns out it was just a loose valve core.
Best video on this topic! Not only in all the explanations, but nothing fancy at the start trying to establish that you're trying to be big on youtube. Just providing content of value. Thank you!
Good luck on 2005+ doing & fixing one with TPMS sensor. It worn on the inside on the rim & the battery is weak to dead. ATG tips is best way on doing it with TPMS scanner tool.
I got stuck on the highway in my 2018 renault zoe, cause of a bent valve that leaked air AFTER i tried to fill it up cause of a warning on the dash, i got brand new winter tires 3 weeks ago
Good info on valve core, but some have tpms as mine has so sensors attached to the stem, so wouldn't twist the stem around as damage could occur.. for valve stem leak I'd go to a tyre fitter..
I don't know about all sensors and rim combinations but on mine I know it would break the sensor. I have a small tire changing machine and have installed sensors and tires. On my wheels, there is an orientation that the sensors need and there is a relatively small amount of rotation the sensors can move before hitting the rim. Forcing them to rotate any further would break the sensor module off the metal part of the stem.
Out of 4 fixes here, none of them are to replace the valve stem. Unfortunately, that's exactly what I came here looking for. I got a flat due to cracked rubber of the valve them and the other 3 tires look like they're going the same way.
If you crack the valve stem that means ur valve stem itself is broken. You need to buy a replacement and install it. In order to do this you need to be able to “break the bead”, which he did state at the end of the video. This essentially means you need to take the tire off of the rim, which is what happens when you get new tires or replace valve stems. Once you break the bead and can access the back end of the valve stem you’ll need to take the valve stem out completely and if you have sensors on your stem u need to detach them and attach them to the new valve stem. From the back end you insert the valve stem then pull it through. Adjust the tire so when u fill it with air it sets back into place with the valve stem in the correct position to fill the tire and not let out air. Good luck
I’ve bought some repair valves that can be inserted from the outside, by a company called Hardline Products. I will have a video up on my channel when I get my tractor tyres repaired
Hi mate. Great video. Quick question...I try to inflate my tyre..when I put the nozzle from air machine in..the air just keeps coming out..normally If you press it far enough it will seal and then alloenyoj to inflate. Is this the core that's faulty?
I had exactly the same experience whereas air would flow out when attempting to inflate the tire/tyre. That still baffles me a bit. I was surprised that the valve core could be swapped out. Did the job yesterday using the same tool as shown in this video. All worked out great, so far. lol Greatly relieved now;
Quick question I see u have a Karcher pressure washer which 1 is it k5 or k7 was looking on your videos but couldn't see any information about it thanks in advance
It's a K4 Dameion. Just put lots of bits onto it, 20m armoured hose, stubby gun, quick release conversion. Just recently its started to take a few seconds to initially fire up, but after that it's fine for the entire wash. Seems to be getting worse though.
I think I have slow leak on my electric bike rear tire I couldn't find any holes on the fire on any damage on the tire it's a slow leak I'm going apple these methods thank you so much for helpful tips. 🤙
@@DetailingandtheBeast Cheers, i wasnt sure if twisting round the stem would move the TPMS or knock it out of position. For fix 4 did you have to let the air out of the tyre first or it was ok to do whilst inflated.
Im not sure if you can help...Im not big on cars...none of my tires are leaking but when I try to pump air into one of my tire it is actually releasing air (I can't hear it, air pushing out while trying to pump)..I even had a stranger try and help me....its weird😕...so I haven't tried pumping it anymore the pressure is okay but its the lowest of the 4
Air compresser is not on ...screwed up air chuck or tempermental one.... Not putting it on level to seat .. Might want to hold valve stem as your putting air to not have a mishap breaking it Sideways . few reasons as to why.
After topping off the pressure (before it gets too low in the freezing months), the valve didn’t close when unplugging the pump. The only thing holding in the air is the plastic cap. Jabbing the valve core didn’t help at all, driving for 20 minutes to heat it all up (thought it might just be frozen in place) didn’t help either. I guess I need to try fix number 2? Just buy some valve stems and the tool to swap them?

I did your lesson #1 to my Ram 2500, and lesson #4 to my Tahoe fixed my problems. Thank you, saved me lots of money.
Wooohooo!!! Watched this video, went to the hardware store, fix the value. This video just saved me $1200 on a vintage car! Thank you so much!
FIX #3 works great for my slow leaking valve.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, my man. I tried the easy option first. The stem wouldn't turn until i sprayed some penetrating oil on it, then gave it a couple revolutions, and leak solved! My son is very happy he doesn't have to fill it up at least once/week.
This was def the best video I've watched to fix a leaky valve....thank you for explaining the diff ways.😊
This is so helpful, thank you so much! Fixed my tyre within 5 minutes
Thank you! Tip #3 worked for mine! I lowered the pressure some to get the valve stem to spin better. Once I did, I aired it back up and no more leak!
Great video - thank you for your help. Pretty confident I can determine the problem now.
Amazing! I had no idea there was a core tool or that you can replace valve cores. Or that they screw in and out! Extra cores and a core tool will be essential for me from now on. Thanks!

You save the day mate. I was able to use Instacart to pick up a tire inflator and that little tool and fixed my tire up thanks to you.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Well done I took everything you said onboard and added another tool to my box
Thanks
Mr Spence Eng
Gonna have to try this out on my leaky stem. I've already got a core tool, never thought about twisting it like this! 👍
Thanks so much mate, helped me fix a valve myself in 5 minutes. Cheers!
Thanks for videos like this mate. We really appreciate videos like this

@@filmaker256it seems like you answered your own question lmao
Thanks man mine was the first step I had no idea that you could do thats. Thanks a million.

Thank you. You helped me solve a leak out of a valve stem. Tire shops are too busy to get me in for 2 weeks with winter coming so this was a huge help!!!
Ridiculous. This would take them
GREAT EXPLANATION, GREAT VIDEO ON THIS saves me from carrying tire to tire repair shop AND "I" can return tire purchased for flat Lawn Tractor tire!!
2 weeks? That’s unrealistic man lol I’m sure other places were free for u to come in

Very interesting was thinking about putting some super glue around the valve but glad I saw this and use some gasket sealer instead pheew👏🏻
I got lucky and just needed to tighten the valve core. The gushing air stopped immediately. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, I fixed my valve stem leak , finding the leak was another story ! 👍🏻
Thank you; mine was #3 and just needed tightening.

Thanks for your comments Harun. Glad to hear you have sorted your problem.
Thank you, this helped me figure out that I needed to change my nasty corroded valve core
My motercycle valve core leaking going to try out your tips thanks 👍
Top tips and instructions a great money saving video 10 out of 10
Cool. I have a mountain bike rear air shock with Schrader valve (Fox). It kept losing air and I serviced it thinking the seals were worn. Turns out it was just a loose valve core.
Thanks for the info, I'll go outside and try it right away!
I had Fix #1. Thanks for posting this - educational and saved me plenty of money. 😁
Excellent video! Thank you very much.
about as good a video on car repair Ive seen cheers!
#2 so easy and this vid saved my ass today THANKS!
AWESOME! I was hoping this was the fix for my leaky, 15-year-old aluminum alloys! We'll see...

Super helpful. thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. Super informative. I subscribed.
You're welcome. Thanks for subscribing 👍
Very good video, thank you
Excellent! Thank you!
Excellent video, clear, informative and complete. Subscribed,and liked. Thank you.
thank you! I had two leaking stems at the bases... if i pushed it sideways a little it would hiss. All fixed up :)
Which fix worked for you
Yes, i have the same problem where if the valve was pushed sideways, air would come out. Which # fix would that be?
I was thinking number 4
This video saved me $110... Thank you
Thanks! Worked Perfect!!
Cheers ,some really good commen sence tips
Great video, thank you very much :)
Hi ,
Can you tell the type or size of the Valve Stem , if required to replace.
Very Helpful😊
Well done.
Good info on valve core, but some have tpms as mine has so sensors attached to the stem, so wouldn't twist the stem around as damage could occur.. for valve stem leak I'd go to a tyre fitter..

On my wheels, there is an orientation that the sensors need and there is a relatively small amount of rotation the sensors can move before hitting the rim. Forcing them to rotate any further would break the sensor module off the metal part of the stem.
When ur twisting the valve stem, do you try n turn thr black part also?
Great video. Although I feel like step 4 is a little excessive. Maybe just replace the stem at that point. But great video!
Great video.
Great video. Thanks. Mine is leaking around rim. Going to try fix 3 first... Then 4 if required.
Appreciate your help.
Rick.
Newfoundland
Air leaks when i push up on the valve, which # fix do you think would work? Thanks
Nice one, thanks
very nice) I got some value out of this
What about burrs around the valve stem hole causing to eventually puncture and leak??
Thank you
Thanks Dave
super, saved my day!
Thanks. Good video. Helped me fix my tire. You the man !!
Brilliant.
Interesting. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Do I need to remove the tire from the car or can I do it on the car
Does this work with tpms sensors as well?
can this be done on a bmw with tpms sensors?
There’s also a tool where you can replace Schrader valve cores while it’s still under pressure and not have to let all the air out
What type of gasket sealant is it obviously it cannot be silicone based as that will cause rust
thanks
Thanks mate 🫡🙏
Such a good video, massive thumbs up!
Thanks for video
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Got a ranger and exactly the same issue
Does this work while tire still on car?

The the wealth of information on the internet is insane if this one video doesn't show what you want. Look somewhere else
To do number 3 has the tire got to be flat?

Fix #3 is my tire issue . So all I have to do is buy that...... so that I can squeeze it and problem solved ?
I think I have slow leak on my electric bike rear tire I couldn't find any holes on the fire on any damage on the tire it's a slow leak I'm going apple these methods thank you so much for helpful tips. 🤙
Can fixes 3 & 4 be used with a valve that has a tire pressure monitoring sensor? Thanks.
Yeah, exactly what I have done on one of my Ranger wheels.
Unfortunately, #3 and #4 won't work on a recessed valve stem on my alloy wheel. The valve stem is crap.
Will fix 4 work with valves that have TPMS? I have a small slow leak at the base of the value. Excellent video by the way
Yeah my wheels on my Ranger have TPMS.
@@DetailingandtheBeast Cheers, i wasnt sure if twisting round the stem would move the TPMS or knock it out of position. For fix 4 did you have to let the air out of the tyre first or it was ok to do whilst inflated.
No, it was done flat. The TPMS sensors never had a problem after I had twisted them.

Oh and putting money in machine to turn it on ! .... You'd be surprised..
DoI need to completely take the tire off? Or can it stay on the car?
Alls of these can stay on the car

Yeah I'd say that's probably likely, given what you have tried.
@@DetailingandtheBeast Cool, thanks so much for the super quicke reply. Tools and valve stems ordered, liked and subscibed.
This happened to me. Topped up shat it out as It wouldn't close. Topped again it held and didn't leak back out. 🤷♂️
If you have a heat gun try heating the valve stem to get it softer and it will go into the rim easier.
Excellent tip!
