4-way valve stem tools cost less than $2. It amazes me why some people
want to reinvent some things.
Assuming the tire is off the rim, can I both remove an old valve and
replace it with a new valve using that cheap 4-way tool?
Yes, just lube it with something.
They do make valve stems that instead of a friction fit that have a nut
on the outside so the valve stem fits on like a bolt.
I use "bolt in" stems on all of my vehicles now since I lost 4 stems
in one trip on my PT Cruiser. That was Kitchener to PEI and back.
