2 Ways to Change a Valve Stem on E-Rated Trailer Tires

Ripping a valve stem out of an E-Rated trailer tire is a disaster when you're hauling tractors, equipment, firewood, or taking a family vacation. Today, I'm showing you how to replace a broken valve stem yourself using two completely different methods so you can save a costly mobile tire repair fee. Method 1: The Traditional Way. We break the tire bead using the trailer jack and install a heavy-duty TR416 metal clamp-in valve stem. Method 2: The Alternate Way. We keep the tire bead completely intact and push a high-pressure TR600HP valve stem directly through the rim using an installation cone tool. I'll show you the step-by-step process for both, the true struggles of breaking an E-rated bead, and which tool setup is best to keep in your truck or tractor toolbox for field emergencies.
