i cant realy get excited about using a valve removal tool it takes 17 posts for a simple operation

We're all holding the lightbulb waiting for you.

Remember in the 70,s and 80,s when cars had metal dust caps that had a valve key in the end..

Buy an old MZ, I have plenty of them, and twice as many valve caps like that.

i have the security bit set but none of them look like they are up to the job

 

[brightspark]

for those that dont know how to remove one look here

 

[CRB]

Only a matter of time.

Only a matter of time.

but the wheel need to be on a moving vehicle for those

Forget valve core removal.

Just cut them off with a knife like they do when you take them in for new ones.

Or cut them of with side cutters. pincers or wire cutters.

didnt think side cutters would get through them? i am usually outside on the phone when i have tyres done, never pay attention to anything i have no interest in doing myself

I've never seen the valve cut before tyre removal,You would normally remove the valve core then take tyre off then cut old valve off from the back of the rim with a Stanley knife.
I reckon that you could remove a valve core quicker than trying to cut it off!

Same here. Removing the core is also reversible. Can't think why anyone would want to cut a valve stem when a readily available, (motor factors, bicycle shop, Poundland probably), quid odd item will loosen/remove the core quickly.

You should have told him to throw the wheel down onto it. We could have waited for the inevitable thread about his broken nose or crushed nads then.

At work we have valve pullers. They take around a second. Its basically a lever that grips the valve and a nylon wheel at the fulcrum point that acts on the rim. We use them for flat tyre blocking at road traffic collisions. We put chocks under the sills and pull the valves to lower the vehichle onto the blocks.. this destroys the valves though. The vehichle is now stable to work on and no movement or danger to casualty if there is a suspected c spine injury.

That's why I made my core removal tool, used to do Rally Rescue so used the same techniques for stabilising cars.

This is what I use to deflate tires quickly, stays in my work truck!
