  • 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..

    • How to build a CO2 Tire Inflator
      by evil8x8
      I am sure there are many ways this could have been built but I just wanted something to seat beads and inflate tires on my ATVs in the field and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money. The CO2 Paintball Universal Fill Adapter is the key part. It screws on the top of any paintball tank and when the knob is turned, a pin pushes down on the release pin of the paintball tank and releases the pressure out of the threaded hole on the side.

      Materials: 1 CO2 Paintball tank (I used a 24 ...

    • Fixing those unfixable sidewalls
      by pheagy
      I wonder if any of you guys have the problems I have when it comes to fixing my tires. I figured I'd show you some of what I've done to make those tires run when the tire man says he can't do anything. Both of these methods rely on the use of some kind of tire sealant after the repair. Most brands work well, currently I'm using slime and I'm very pleased with it. For holes that are caused by a puncture of some sort and are to big for plugs to hold, I have used carriage bolts with washers with great ...
