How To Replace A Tire Valve Stem Without Removing The tire
Pretty neat Bronco,but I,m like you about the weak too. Good video. I have to replace one before long. I,ll jack the bronco up. Get the tire off the ground and break the seal. Push the tire back enough to get,but a person could get a funnel . Cut the end off and tap the valve in like you showed. Good idea. Thanks.Take care and be careful. Now -a question. i NOTICED the 78,s--not had any experience with the others. When I,d jack it up . On level ground. It has a tendence to always go to leaning with a bumper jack. About the safest way to jack it up is a bigger safety jack under the pumkin. If you are on level ground and if you can lug a bug jack around. These little floor jack want to twist also. Take care.

I made a video about breaking a bead loose as well.

Thats neat. Never been in a situation where I had to change the stem myself (I always get new ones when new tires go on the rim) but its nice to see how easy it is to do with the right tool.
