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.
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.
Did lesson number 1 on my 17 Tacoma. The tool from Amazon is a lifesaver. Still hard to believe it was the rare number 1 trick is all it needed. Thank you for the helpful video! Happy New Year!
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.
Brilliant - 3 cheers for guys like this and UA-cam. 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!👍
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, 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.
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!
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. 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.
Hey thank you so much for your video. Number 3 worked for me. You saved me a lot of time and money. I appreciate your contribution to UA-cam DIYers out there.
I watched some other videos on this where they just change the whole valve, either by breaking the bead to get access to the back or even without, using a kit that pushes it in from the outside with lube. But given valves are usually changed the same time as a new tyre it would be rare for them to have perished or ripped, imo. I have ordered the kit in any case but will try method 3 or 4 first as that may sort it. I've found slow leaks on alloys typically to be poor seating of the tyre bead, again due to corrosion. Useful video. Much appreciated.
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).
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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;
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
Yes, I also was wondered when i didn't see this instruction, but anyway, video was very useful, because now i know, why for this metal equipment is in that cheap repairing kit, what I ordered on online market.
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.
@@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.
fix #5; take the wheel OFF the car, remove valve core allowing as much air as possible to escape, break beed on the side where the valve stem is, 'peel back' tire to expose valve stem bottom, remove valve stem, install new valve stem with valve stem installation tool that you did not show, be sure to coat the base of the new valve stem with sealant, install valve core, inflate tire making sure the bead on both sides have seated (you'll hear an audible pop). Inflate to proper pressure. mount tire back on vehicle torque lug bolts / nuts to proper spec. ** note; if you have tire pressure sensors- you might have to remove the tire from the wheel- there may not be room to remove the sensor, especially with low profile tires. You can try, it might even be possible to leave the sensor on and remove the valve stem pushing from the top-- you'll have to cut the top of the stem off-- just be careful not to damage the sensor. I actually JUST got done doing this tonight. I was chasing a slow leak, while replacing valve core I noticed that when I move the whole stem just a little bit- massive air would stream out. Don't know how long I've been driving around like this but so glad I checked the valve core- never would have noticed the crack in the stem. Cheers everybody- drive safe.
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. 🤙
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?
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.
Congratulations on forcing that valve back through the rim. I've failed at that several times over the years. Much good info in your video. It took me years to learn those tips. No YT tutorials back then.
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.

Hey thank you so much for your video. Number 3 worked for me. You saved me a lot of time and money. I appreciate your contribution to UA-cam DIYers out there.

the 4th technique worked for me. Thanks!
I got lucky and just needed to tighten the valve core. The gushing air stopped immediately. Thanks for the video.
Fix no 1 fixed mine.so amazing saved me a lot of stress.
Well done I took everything you said onboard and added another tool to my box
Thanks

Thank you sooo much for this video!!!! Saved me time and money. 🙏🙏
Please keep uploading such videos..
Gonna have to try this out on my leaky stem. I've already got a core tool, never thought about twisting it like this! 👍
about as good a video on car repair Ive seen cheers!
Thanks so much mate, helped me fix a valve myself in 5 minutes. Cheers!
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
Very interesting was thinking about putting some super glue around the valve but glad I saw this and use some gasket sealer instead pheew👏🏻
Thank you, this helped me figure out that I needed to change my nasty corroded valve core
Thank you; mine was #3 and just needed tightening.
Super video! Cheers from Canada!
Top tips and instructions a great money saving video 10 out of 10
When ur twisting the valve stem, do you try n turn thr black part also?

Air leaks when i push up on the valve, which # fix do you think would work? Thanks

Thanks. Good video. Helped me fix my tire. You the man !!
What type of gasket sealant is it obviously it cannot be silicone based as that will cause rust
Thanks for the info, I'll go outside and try it right away!
Cheers ,some really good commen sence tips

You're welcome. Thanks for subscribing 👍
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.
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
Nice one, thanks
Does this work while tire still on car?
super, saved my day!
Thank you!!
Thanks! Worked Perfect!!
Do I need to remove the tire from the car or can I do it on the car
DoI need to completely take the tire off? Or can it stay on the car?
Alls of these can stay on the car
Does this work with tpms sensors as well?
can this be done on a bmw with tpms sensors?
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.
Super helpful. thanks!
very nice) I got some value out of this
Is there a way to seal a leak between a metal stem and rim without replacing the stem.
Yeah he showed ya gasket sealer
@@joshlower1 That was only for a rubber stem.
@@rogerg4916 shouldn't matter. You can make a gasket between any other two pieces of metal can't ya
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.
fix #5; take the wheel OFF the car, remove valve core allowing as much air as possible to escape, break beed on the side where the valve stem is, 'peel back' tire to expose valve stem bottom, remove valve stem, install new valve stem with valve stem installation tool that you did not show, be sure to coat the base of the new valve stem with sealant, install valve core, inflate tire making sure the bead on both sides have seated (you'll hear an audible pop). Inflate to proper pressure. mount tire back on vehicle torque lug bolts / nuts to proper spec.
** note; if you have tire pressure sensors- you might have to remove the tire from the wheel- there may not be room to remove the sensor, especially with low profile tires. You can try, it might even be possible to leave the sensor on and remove the valve stem pushing from the top-- you'll have to cut the top of the stem off-- just be careful not to damage the sensor.
I actually JUST got done doing this tonight. I was chasing a slow leak, while replacing valve core I noticed that when I move the whole stem just a little bit- massive air would stream out. Don't know how long I've been driving around like this but so glad I checked the valve core- never would have noticed the crack in the stem.
Cheers everybody- drive safe.

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. 🤙
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!
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?
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. 🤷♂️
Excellent! Thank you!
Interesting. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
To do number 3 has the tire got to be flat?
Is the seal silicone?
No silicone causes metal to rust
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.
