  • balloon tire valve stem replacement

    Here's a long over due secret.. how to replace balloon tire valve stems..
    1) break off old stem.(thats the easy part..)
    2) get a package of the smaller valve stems(any auto parts store carries them ,usually.. # 413 's?)
    3) this may take practice.. you need a used pair of pliars, a dull screw driver, and some quality dish soap..(full strength..)
    4) slowly ..attempt to put the bottom end into the tiny hole of the wheel,after sand paper cleaning around the hole and wiping it off..
    5) a tiny bit at a time..making sure the stem is well lubricated with the dish soap.. Also holding the valve stem in the 5 o'clock position.(facing down,,)
    6) as you almost have it in all the way, turn the stem to the 6 o'clock position ,finish pressing it in..
    7) guess what? it is repaired..

    Happy AATVing!!

    any questions? feel free to ask..pictures forth coming..
