So far so good, I've used it on a couple trailer wheels, and a couple vehicle aluminum wheels. Saves the ton of work! Wish I would have tried this sooner. Great for bringing home parts/scrap vehicles that have bad valve stems but don't want to mess around swapping wheels and tires.

awesome kit did what i needed it to do. only downside is the softness of the removal hook which has bent slightly. still useable but probably not for long.

This thing works with just a bit of common sense ..instead of trying to displace the OUTSIDE of the old rock hard rubber of the old valve stem as you are trying to insert the "Hook Tool".. simply slice with a knife right down the side of the OLD valve stem (in one place only) and remove the outside shoulder where you intend to insert the hook..lube your old valve stem and hook tool end and place the hook flat against the now flat side of the valve where you sliced off the old valve stem's outer sealing shoulder ..at this point you are basically only pushing on the inner seal of the old valve stem and eazy peazyInsertion also straight forward ..spray silicone the inside of the "funnel" tube and the new valve stem and run it in and out "priming" the funnel interior..I had to respray 3 times to get good full travel of the stem to the bottom of the funnel [TIP: pace the funnel small end down and square on a flat board to force the travel of the valve stem down the funnel ..once you are fully lubed and have the valve stem fully compressed at the small end of the funnel ..THEN place it squarely over the stem hole in the rim and give the handle of the insertion tool a palm slap or a light tap from a dead blow hammer will do the job ..Now I will go read the factory instructions and see how my successful self designed process deviates from the factory "suggestions" ..I know ..It's a man thing!!!

We needed to change a valve stem that had perished on a commercial vehicle using this tool we had the valve stem changed without taking the tyre off in approximately 30 seconds definitely would recommend to anybody that needs to change the valve stem without taking the wheel all the tire off only thing I would say is always lubricate the rubber parts before inserting the new stem

Bought it to avoid having to remove the wheels on the log splitter.They are mounted by the bearings on the spindle, which requires removal of dust caps, lock washers, bearings, etc.Took more time bring the log splitter into the yard than it took to remove and install new valve stems.Worked very well. I did use the hook tool with success on one side. The other side's valve stem was completely deteriorated, and the hook ripped through it.Not a big deal on a tire that is not used on the road. Just pushed the ripped up bottom part into the tire/wheel assembly.Then the installation. Used a good bit of soapy water on the new valve stem bottom and a little more on the forcing cone. Was able to put them in with minimal effort.Tips:1: When using the hook tool, make sure you know which way to turn the tool to place the hook in the right spot on the old valve stem.2: Use a good amount of lube on the bottom part of the new valve stem and the forcing cone. I used some lightly diluted dish soap. The forcing cone needs to be right up against the wheel where the hole is for the valve stem. With enough lube, it will not take much to get the new stem installed. Might take some light taps with your hand on the installation tool, while holding the cone in the right spot.3: Get set up on a hard surface if you can. Helps the process if you can use a floor jack to lift the vehicle or implement off the ground in order to rotate the tire into the best position for you to work on it.I found having the valve stem at the 2-3 o'clock position works well for removal of the old valve stem and having it at 6 o'clock position for installation. Once it is in the right spot for working on it, set it down just enough to keep the wheel/tire from rotating while you work on it.4: Make sure your tires are not really badly rotted or cracked. Tires in bad shape can certainly explode on you. Thankfully, I have yet to see that but have heard the stories.5: An air compressor is a nice item to have for filling the tires up. A tire valve core tool is nice for removing the core from the valve stem you are replacing, much faster way to let air out compared to using a screwdriver or such. A stool or such is nice to sit on while working on the project. A floor jack is a handy item as well.

This is a great tool! It turns a nearly impossible task into a easy job. I was about to install my winter wheels and tires when I saw that 3 of the 4 valve stems were cracked near the base. As tire shops are all booked this time of year, I did some searching and found this tool. And it worked great!The longest part of the job was deflating and reinflating the tires, as I do not have the tool to remove valve cores and used an inexpensive 12V tire inflator. Valve replacement itself took me maybe 5 minutes for the first wheel and then 1-2 minutes per wheel. The most difficult part was inserting the removal tool which required hitting the handle moderately hard.Some advice I collected from the internet and my own experience:1. Make sure the replacement valves are soft and the bottom part is easy to squeeze flat. I saw online that some valves just don't work (either old stock or harder rubber, it wasn't clear). I used cheap new valves from my local canadian tire and had no issue pushing them in. I did not try the supplied valves but they appear identical.2. Keep the new valves warm. Cold rubber is harder to squeeze. If the old ones can be kept warm, removal will likely be easier too.3. Beware of greases which might damage rubber. Soapy water works well enough.4. Put the tube against the floor and push the valve all the way to the end. Then put it against the wheel and give the handle a few good whacks with a hand. Doing it this way makes it easy to feel when the valve pops into place. I had no need to push it all the way into the wheel and pull it back.

I'm not sure why people complain about the removal tool. If you bend it, you must be trying really hard or prying it against the edge of the rim rather than pulling straight. It is a thin rod, or very thick wire. If it were much thicker it wouldn't fit through the valve hole in the rim. Don't pry, just push and pull it straight at the appropriate times and it will be perfect.I don't understand why people say this set is hard to use, either. It took me longer to get the parts out of the package (I didn't tear the bag) than it did to fix the valve stem. I needed to replace the stem on the rear tire of my Kubota compact tractor. I put a little dish soap on the extractor tool. Popped it through the rim, turned it and pulled the old valve out. (Just be sure you turn the hook on the extractor into the center of the valve, not out where it will catch on the rim.) I threaded the new valve stem onto the insertion tool, applied a good amount of liquid dish soap to the end of the valve, then pushed the valve to the edge of the insertion tool sleeve. Two gentle taps on the other end of the tool with a rubber mallet and the valve stem was in the rim. I pulled back to seat it firmly, removed the tool, and aired the time. Took me less than a minute!Even though I had to wait for the set to arrive (Prime two-day shipping), it was MUCH easier than jacking the tractor up, removing the tire (lots of bolts) and either taking it to a repair shop or breaking the bead to replace the stem. It is also sometimes hard to get a bead to reseal, so no need to with this set!This set, some spare valve stems, and a large bottle of Slime flat repair liquid will work well for lawn mowers, small tractors, and ATVs. I'll be keeping this Quick Valve Change tool set with my other emergency tools.
