How To Replace a Tire Valve Stem

Step 1: Remove the tire.

Grab the tire by its removed lip and pull it upward so that the opposite lip that was at the bottom of the wheel is now touching the top edge of the rim.

Insert the tire iron in between the the tire’s lip and the edge of the wheel and pry upwards to pull the lip over the edge of the rim.

Once the lip is over the edge of the rim, work the tire iron around the edge of the wheel until the tire is removed from the wheel.

Step 8: Remove the valve stem.

Once the tire is removed from the wheel remove the valve stem. Use the needle nose pliers to pull the valve stem free from the wheel.

Step 9: Install the new valve stem.

Take your replacement valve stem and install it from the inside of the wheel. Once it is in position use the needle nose pliers to pull it through into place.
