After reading the MacLean guide on pulling the rear wheel I cot my confidence up enough to order aset of tires for my 1100 Aspy....then I got to thinking about valve stems... as cheap as they are, it seems like they aught to be changed with the tire or at lease available in case of a problem (like loosinga part while deflating)and I would sure like an "L" shped one in there to improve access......... so I havea few questions
!. how do you get the old one out (cut it off/pull it through or???...;
2. ho you put the new one in ... I think you jus pull it through till it seats but not sure?
3. do you need a special tool to put a new one in .....
4. any tricks that help or "gotchas" to watch out for?
These might seem like really dumb questions but I realized that, while I have changed tires I have never done anything with stems ....
thanks....
